Sextius); and on Sextius, Diod. 34.23; Strabo 4.1.5; and on his name, Act. Tr. for 122. See Degrassi 126, 472f. Cassius may have founded Fabrateria to replace Fregellae (Vell. 1.15.4; see 125, Praetors). Sextius, along with his predecessor Fulvius, made war on the Ligurians, the Salluvii and the Vocontii (Diod. 34.23; Eutrop. 4.22; see 123 and 122, Promagistrates). (Broughton MRR I)
    • Eutropius has confused the name of Sextius with that of his successor Domitius, the Consul of 122, and has wrongly attributed to Cassius a share in the Gallic war and in the resulting triumph. See 122, Promagistrates; RE s. v. "Domitius" nos. 20 and 46. (Broughton MRR I)
