Quintus Caedicius Noctua

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quintus Caedicius Noctua was a Roman statesman in the first third of the 3rd century BC. Chr.

The gens Caedicia had made little prominence in history until then. His otherwise unknown father was probably called Quintus ; perhaps Gaius Caedicius , who died in the battle of Aquilonia in 293 BC. His brother commanded the cavalry.

He reached the consulate in 289 together with Marcus Valerius Maximus Corvinus . In 283 he became censor and resigned from office for reasons unknown; the name of his colleague is not preserved in the fasts . His son is likely to have been Quintus Caedicius , the consul of 256.
