Aulus Ofilius (Ofilius in Greek: ο Όφίλλιος, flourished 1st century BC) was a Roman jurist of Equestrian rank, who lived in the Roman Republic.〔(Aulus Ofilius ), in the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, vol. III.〕 He is named as a jurist by Pomponius. Ofilius was a friend to Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero, dictator Gaius Julius Caesar and in opinion had opposed the jurist Trebatius Testa. Ofilius was educated by the jurist Servius Sulpicius Rufus and in turn Ofilius became the tutor to the future jurists Quintus Aelius Tubero, Marcus Antistius Labeo and Gaius Ateius Capito. He obtained a high reputation for legal knowledge. Ofilius had written various legal treaties. He had addressed one of his treaties to wealthy Equestrian and friend to Cicero, Titus Pomponius Atticus. Ofilius was also the author of an extensive commentary on Praetorian Edict or Proclamations. He is often cited in the Digest. Pliny the Elder mentions in his Natural History Ofilius's wife Clodia, which he reports died at the age of 115.〔Plinius Maior, Naturalis Historia, lib. vii, xlviii, 158: "() Clodia Ofili CXV ()"; ().〕 ==Sources== * http://www.ancientlibrary.com/smith-bio/2352.html * http://www.oup.com/uk/orc/bin/9780199276073/resources/timeline/jurists_rep2.pdf 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aulus Ofilius」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
