Quintus Cervidius Scaevola
Quintus Cervidius Scaevola (fl. c. AD 160–180) was a Roman jurist of the equestrian order. Both the Historia Augusta[1] and the Tabula Banasitana attest that Scaevola was a member of Marcus Aurelius' (r. AD 161–180) consilium or inner circle of advisors. Except that Papinian was his student, little more is known of Scaevola's life.
Books
[edit]Scaevola is credited with writing several works, from which excerpts have been preserved in Justinian's Digest:[2]
- Digesta in 40 books; while books 1-29 have ample extracts, there are few from the last 10, which led Paul Jörs to suspect that part of Scaevola's Digesta had been lost by the sixth century.[2]
- Quaestiones in 6 books.
- Responsa in 20 books.
- Quaestiones publice tractatae
- Regulae in 4 books
