Gaius Ateius Capito (about 30 BCE – 22 CE) was a Roman jurist in the time of emperors Augustus and Tiberius.
Capito was a strong proponent of the principate which brought him in opposition to Marcus Antistius Labeo.
One was a senatus consultum that prohibited Senators, equites, and their descendants from actively participating in gladiatorial matches.
Pisone patre, the Roman Senate's official act concerning the trial and punishment of Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso, dated 10 December 20 CE.
[10] Capito's works were read and quoted until the sixth century, although more frequently by lexicographers (especially by Sextus Pompeius Festus and Aulus Gellius) than by jurists.
