JULIA'NUS, SALVIUS, was probably a native of Milan. Ile was the great-grandfather of the Emperor Didius Julianus. (rEliauus Spartistuus, 'Didius Julianus.') Julianus was twice consul, and also Prasfectus Urbi. Ile mentions his own consulship and office of Prxter Urbanus ; and ho also of having been in Egypt (' Digest.' xlii. tit. 2, s. 5; it'd. tit. 3, a. 36). Julianus was a dis tinguished jurisconsult, and one of the Consiliarii of Hadrian ; and he may probably have attained the honour of the consulship under this emperor. Lampridius('Commodes; c. 3) speaks of the Emperor Commodes soliciting the chastity of a son of Salvius Julienne, and of his putting tho father to death ; but this cannot be the jurisconsult Julianus, who probably died in the reign of Antoninus Pius. The sepulchre of the Jurisoonsult was on the Via Lavicana, five miles from Rome, according to Spartianus; and his descendant the Emperor Didius Julianus was buried iu the same tomb. (' Didius Julianus,' c. S.)
Salvius Julianus was a pupil of Javolcuus Prisons, and therefore one of the Sabiniani. Ilia authority was very great among the Roman jurists, and ho is oftener cited than any other writer by the Roman jurists, even more frequently than Labeo. The great work with which his name is connected was the Edicturn Perpetuum; which was compiled in the time of Hadrian. His priuoipal legal work was Ninety Books of Digests. There are 457 excerpts from Julienne in the Digest of Justinian, and chiefly from the work just mentioned. There are also mentioned, in the Florentine Index, Six Books Ad 31inucium, Four Books Ad Ursciutu, and One Book On Ambiguities (De Am big uitatibus).
