We know very little about the life of the jurist, A. Cascellius, but in his famous potted history of Roman legal science, parts of which are preserved in the Digest , Pomponius does tell us that Cascellius never rose beyond the rank of quaestor and that he rejected the consulship when Augustus offered it to him (D. 1. 2. 2. 45, Pomponius libro singulari enchiridii ). Such are the ways of scholars, however, that several modern writers are intent on posthumously awarding him a praetorship under the Triumvirate. The purpose of this note is to raise an objection to this tendency, which shows signs of causing trouble in the field of Roman law also
