Sextus Julius Caesar (military tribune 181 BC)

Sextus Julius Caesar was the name of several Roman men of the Julii Caesares. Sextus was one of three praenomina used by the Julii Caesares, the others being Lucius and Gaius, the latter being the praenomen of the most famous Julius Caesar.

The first Sextus Julius Caesar was praetor in 208 BC, and assigned the province of Sicily. He commanded the legiones Cannenses, the legions formed from the survivors of Cannae. After the consuls were ambushed by Hannibal, leaving Marcus Claudius Marcellus dead, and Titus Quinctius Crispinus mortally wounded, Sextus was dispatched by the Roman Senate to ask Quinctius to nominate a dictator.

Sextus Julius Caesar, son of the praetor of 208 BC, was the first of the Julii Caesares to hold the consulship, in BC 157. He first appears in history as a military tribune serving under the proconsul Lucius Aemilius Paullus in Liguria in 181 BC. In 170, he was sent to Greece as a diplomatic legate for restoring the liberty of Abdera, Thrace, and helped lead the search for those who had been unjustly sold into slavery.Curule aedile in 165, he and his colleague Gnaeus Cornelius Dolabella presented games (ludi) at which Terence's Hecyra was first performed, with a notorious lack of success. He held the praetorship no later than 160. In 147 BC, ten years after his consulship, he was sent to rebuke the Achaean League for their treatment of Roman allies, and to caution them against engaging in hostilities against Rome. Critolaos, a leader of the Achaeans, blocked Caesar's efforts to arbitrate in the dispute between the League and Sparta, and war was declared the following year.
