Early Life and Career

Julianus first appears in the historical record as the legatus legionis or commander of Legio VII Claudia, one of the three legions stationed in Moesia under Marcus Aponius Saturninus.

He, along with his fellow commanders, received consular ornaments from Otho, in consequence of a victory which they gained over the Rhoxolani, a Sarmatian tribe.

Military Campaigns

In 88 CE, Julianus led his legions - VII Claudia, I Italica, IV Flavia Felix, and II Adiutrix - into central Dacia.

Although Julianus quickly routed the Dacians at Tapae, the Dacian commander and high priest Vezinas escaped.

After the battle, the Romans made camp for the winter outside the Dacian capital of Sarmizegetusa Regia.

Legacy

Julianus' encounter with the Dacians was celebrated by Emperor Domitian, who held a Roman triumph to celebrate his defeat of the Chatti and Julianus’ success in Dacia.
