Servius Sulpicius Praetextatus
Servius Sulpicius Praetextatus was a Roman aristocrat of the
Lex Licinia Sextia, as she was jealous of the honors of her sister's husband. As early as the turn of the 19th century, the German historian Barthold Georg Niebuhr pointed out the historical untrustworthiness and contradictions in this tale.[2][3]
