PAPINIAN (AEanLtus PAPINIANUS)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 739 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PAPINIAN (AEanLtus PAPINIANUS) , Roman jurist, was magister libellorum and afterwards praetorian prefect under Septimius Severus. He was an intimate friend of the emperor, whom he accompanied to Britain, and before his death Severus specially commended his two sons to his charge.
Papinian
  tried to keep peace between the
brothers
 , but with no better result than to excite the hatred of
Caracalla
 , to which he
fell
  a victim in the general slaughter of Geta's friends which followed the fratricide of A.D. 212. The details are variously related, and have undergone legendary embellishment, but the murder of
Papinian
 , which took place under
Caracalla
 's own eyes, was one of the most disgraceful crimes of that
tyrant
 . Little more is known about Papinian. He was perhaps a Syrian by
birth
 , for he is said to have been a kinsman of Severus's second wife, Julia Domna; that he studied law with Severus under Scaevola is asserted in an interpolated passage in Spartian (Caracal. c. 8). Papinian's place and
work
  as a jurist are discussed under ROMAN LAW.
