Résumé
This paper endeavors to follow, from Caesar to Sidoine Apollinaris, the development of the gesture of Scaeva, a cesarian centurion who distinguished himself at the siege of Dyrrachium. If the real character quickly fades away, Scaeva survives until Late Antiquity as a literary exemplum to the extent that he is considered as one of the greatest heroes in Roman history.
