Julius Julianus
Julius Julianus (fl. 315–325) was a politician of the Roman Empire, related to the Constantinian dynasty.
Life
He served Licinius as praetorian prefect from at least spring 315 to September 324, until Constantine I definitively defeated Licinius. However, the fall of Licinius did not mark the end of Julianus' career, as Constantine had praised Julianus' administration of the State[1] and chose him, in 325, as suffect to replace a consul fallen in disgrace, Valerius Proculus.
He was the father of Basilina, wife of Constantine's half brother Julius Constantius and mother of Emperor Julian, and of the mother of Procopius; he was probably related to Eusebius of Nicomedia.
