Julius Julianus, Governor of Egypt

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Julianus

Julius Julianus (fl. 315–325) was a politician of the Roman Empire, related to the Constantinian dynasty.

Life

He served Licinius as praetorian prefect from at least spring 315 to September 324, until Constantine I definitively defeated Licinius. However, the fall of Licinius did not mark the end of Julianus' career, as Constantine had praised Julianus' administration of the State[1] and choose him, in 325, to replace a consul fallen in disgrace, Valerius Proculus.

He was probably the father of Basilina, wife of Constantine's half brother Julius Constantius and mother of emperor Julian; he was probably related to Eusebius of Caesarea.
