surnamed VATICANUS, was consul in B. C. 452 with T. Menenius
Agrippa. In this year the ambassadors who had been sent to Athens for the purpose of
consulting its laws and institutions, returned to Rome, and in the year following P. Sextius
was one of the decemvirs appointed to draw up a new code of laws. Festus (s.
v. peculates) mentions a lex multaticia which was carried by P. Sextius and his
colleague during their consulship. (Liv. 3.32, &c.; Dionys. A. R. 10.54.)
