Salvius Julianus
Salvius Julianus came from Hadrumentum (Hammamet) in Tunisia. Leader of the Sabinian School after his teacher Javolenus Priscus and a member of the legal advisory council of Hadrian, Julian was appointed quaestor at double the regular salary, with the aim of consolidating the praetorian edict, which was enacted by a resolution of the Senate in 131.
According to his own account, he served as praetor (D. 40.2.5), and we know he was consul in 148, governor of the provinces of Lower Germany (Germania Inferior) under Antoninus Pius, and of Nearer Spain (Hispania Citerior) and Africa under Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus. Julianus died around 170-80 ce. He taught many students, among them Caecilius Africanus and Volusius Maecianus, the legal teacher of Marcus Aurelius.An original and independent thinker and an elegant and clear writer, he was renowned for his rich casuistry. His most distinguished work is the Digest in ninety books, written after the consolidation of the edict. His extensive work was annotated by Marcellus, Cervidius Scaevola, and Paul, among others, and extensively used in Justinian’s Digest. In the Law of Citations of 426, he is mentioned only as a secondary authority; however, Justinian praised him as the most acute author of legal writings and of the perpetual edict (Constitution Tanta 18).
