Caecina
1. A, CAECINA, of Volaterrae, whom Cicero defended in a law-suit, B. C. 69. The argument of this oration, which is of a purely legal nature, cannot be understood without a knowledge of the Roman interdict. It is discussed at length by Keller in the second book of his " Semestrium ad M. Tullium Ciceronem Libri VI." Turici, 1843. He was probably the father of the following, and not the same person, as is usually supposed. (Comp. Cic. Fam. 6.9; Orelli, Onom. Tull. s. v.)
