ABSTRACT
Caeci l ius “Medicus” (100 BCE – 77 CE) Listed by PLINY after SEXTIUS N I G E R and before Metellus Scipio as a (Latin) medical authority (1.ind.29). In his Commentarii (presumably written in Latin), he described a contra ceptive amulet containing two worms from a large-headed hairy spider, a type of phalangium (29.85). Possibly bilingual, his identification with BIŌN CAECILIUS is uncertain. RE 3.1 (1897) 1188 (#3), G. Wissowa.
