Iulius Gallus Aquila

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Iulius Gallus Aquila was a Roman post-classical jurist of the 3rd century.

Aquila is the - otherwise unknown - author of a collection of reports, the Responsorum liber (possibly only: responsa ). Contributions and writings of other lawyers, such as Licinius Rufinus , Papirius Justus and Aelius Gallus, were excerpted. The writing formed the end of an edict mass . The work acquired legal historical significance insofar as the Justinian compilers made use of it. Two short passages of text were included in the digest . Aquila is mentioned in the "Index auctorum" of the Digest.

For a long time it was assumed that lawyers in late antiquity would no longer have been able to respond freely. However, this assumption is disproved today by findings about the responding practice of Eustochius in Africa in the early 5th century. Insofar Response collections, according to the legal historian remains poor in the Dominat fit, the opinion is nevertheless argued that until the turn of the 3rd into the 4th century in Rome might have been incurred such publications, in particular because of the characteristic style of the text passages of responsa Modestins reminded . Detlef Liebs does not want to rule out that Aquila was still a student of Modestin.
