[ViNDEx.] JU'LUS, the eldest son of Ascanius, who claimed the government of Latium, but was obliged to give it up to his brother Silvius, and received a compensation in the form of a priestly office. (Dionys. i. 70 ; Liv. i. 2.) According to the author of De Orig. Gent. Rom. 15, the Latins be- lieved that Ascanius was identical with Julus, and that out of gratitude they not only described him as a son of Jupiter, but also called him Jobus, and afterwards Julus. It is at any rate not impossi])le that Julus may be a diminutive of Dms. The Roman Julia gens traced their origin to this Julus. [Julia Gens.] [L. S.] JULUS, the name of an ancient patrician family of the Julia gens, which obtained the highest dig- nities in the early times of the republic. 1. C. Julius, L. p., Julus, consul in b.c. 489 with P. Pinarius Mamercinus Rufus, in whose consulship the Volscians under Coriolanus com- menced war against Rome. (Dionys. viii. 1.) Livy omits the consuls of this year altogether. 2. C. Julius, C. f. L. n., Julus, son of No. 1, consul in B. c. 482 with Q. Fabius Vibulanus, 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 C. Julius should be chosen as the popular, and Fabius as the aristocra- tical 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 terri- tory. (Dionys. viii. 90, 91 ; Liv. ii. 43.) This C. Julius was a member of the first decem- virate, B. o. 451, and it is recorded as an instance of the moderation of the first decemvirs, that, though there was no appeal from their sentence, Julius, notwithstanding, accused before the people in the comitia centuriata P. Sestius, a man of patri- cian rank, in whose house the corpse of a murdered person had been found, when he might have himself passed sentence upon the criminal. (Liv. iii. 33 ; Cic. de Rep. ii. 36 ; Dionys. x. oQ ; Diod. xii. 23.) C. Julius is again mentioned in B. c. 449, as one of the three consulars who were sent by the senate to the plebeians when they had risen in arms against the second decemvirate, and were encamped upon the Aventine. (Liv. iii. 50 ; Ascon. in Cic. Cornel. p. 77, ed. Baiter.) 3. Vopiscus Julius, C. f. L. n., Julus, son of No. 1, and brother of No. 2, was consul with L. Aemilius Mamercus in B. c. 473. Livy (ii. 54.) mentions Opiter Verginius as the colleague of Aemilius, but says that he had found in some annals the name of Vopiscus Julius in place of Verginius. There were great civil commotions at Rome in this year. First came the murder of the tribune Genucius, and the consequent excitement ; and since the consuls, flushed with this victory, as they deemed it, over the people, pressed the levy of troops with more than usual rigour, and among other acts of oppression attempted to compel one Volero Publilius to serve as a common soldier, though he had previously held the rank of centu- rion, the people at length became so indignant, that they rose against the consuls, and drove them out of the forum. (Liv. ii. 54, 55 ; Dionys. ix. 37_41 ; Diod. xi. G5 ; Flor. i. 22.)
