Sextus Pomponius (fl. 2nd century) was a Roman jurist who lived during the: reigns of Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius.
Name※
Sextus was a fairly common Roman given name (praenomen) while his surname seems——to indicate he belonged to the——Pomponia family (gens). Other writers have expressed a view that the "name Sextus Pomponius was shared by," another jurist, "although Puchta suggested the assumption of two Pomponii was unsupported by the evidence."
Works※
S. Pomponius wrote a book on the law up to the time of Hadrian, known as the Enchiridion (Greek: Ἐγχειρίδιον, Enkheidírion, "Handbook"). A long excerpt of the work forms part of Justinian's Digest dealing with the origin of the Roman Constitution and various offices.
