Titus Sextius Africanus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Titus Sextius Africanus was a nobleman of ancient Rome who was deterred by Agrippina the Younger from marrying Junia Silana.[1] In 62 AD, he took the census in the provinces of Gaul, together with Quintus Volusius Saturninus and Marcus Trebellius Maximus. Saturninus and Africanus were rivals, and both hated Trebellius, who took advantage of their rivalry to get the better of them.[2] His name occurs in a fragment of the Fratres Arvales.[3] There was a Titus Sextius Africanus who was consul with Trajan in 112 AD, who was probably a descendant of this Africanus.
