A. Caecina, whom Cicero defended in a lawsuit, B.C. 69.

2.

A. Caecina, son of the preceding, who published a libellous work against Caesar, and was in consequence sent into exile after the battle of Pharsalia, B.C. 48.

3.

A. Caecina Aliēnus, quaestor in Baetica, in Spain, at Nero's death, and one of the foremost in joining the party of Galba.
