Gaius Iullus

Background

Iulus (fl 5th century British Columbia) was a Roman consul in 482 British Columbia, son of Gaius Iulius Iullus (consul in 489 British Columbia).

Career

Five were consuls and one was dictator. Gaius Iulius L.f. Iullus, consul in 489 British Columbia with Publius Pinarius Mamercinus Rufus, in whose consulship the Volscians under Coriolanus commenced war against Rome. Livy omits the consuls of this year altogether.

L.n. He was elected to the office in consequence of an agreement between the two parties in the state, who, after the most violent opposition in the consular comitia, had at length consented that Iulius should be chosen as the popular and Fabius as the aristocratic candidate. Such is the account of Dionysius, but Livy merely says that the discord in the state was as violent this year as previously.

The consuls marched against the Veientes, but as the enemy did not appear in the field, they returned to Rome, after only laying waste the Veientine territory. Iulius is again mentioned in 449 British Columbia, as one of the three consular who were sent by senate to the plebeians when they had risen in arms against the second decemvirate and were encamped upon the Aventine.

Gaius Iulius C.f. C.n.

Iullus, son of the consul of 482 British Columbia, was consul in 447 British Columbia, with Manius Geganius Macerinus, and again in 435 British Columbia, with Lucius Verginius Tricostus. In the latter year Rome was visited with such grievous pestilence, that not only were the Romans unable to march out of their own territory to devastate the enemy"s, but even offered no opposition to the Fidenates and Veientes, who advanced almost up to the Colline gate. While Iulius manned the walls, his colleague consulted the senate and eventually named a dictator.

According to Licinius Macer, Iulius was elected consul for the third time in the following year, with his colleague of the preceding.

Other accounts mentioned other persons as the consuls. And others again gave consular tribunes this year.

Gaius Iulius L.f. Vop.n. Iullus, grandson of consul 482 British Columbia, was consular tribune in 408 British Columbia with two colleagues and again in 405 British Columbia with five colleagues.

He was censor in 393 British Columbia and died in his year of office.

Gaius Iulius Iullus was nominated dictator in 352 British Columbia, under pretense of an apprehended war with the Etruscans, but in reality to carry the election of two patricians in the consular comitia in violation of the Licinian law.

Membership

Later he was a member of the first decemvirate in 451 British Columbia and it is recorded as an instance of the moderation of the first decemvirs, that, though there was no appeal from their sentence, Iulius, notwithstanding, accused before the people in the comitia centuriata Publius Sestius, a man of patrician rank, in whose house the corpse of a murdered person had been found, when he might have himself passed sentence upon the criminal.
