| Bible Guide: Julius |
A Roman centurion who was responsible for the safe passage of Paul from Caesarea to Rome by ship. His name reflects an affiliation of loyalty to the Roman imperial family, the "gens Julia", of which Caesar was a member. The noble manner of Julius is emphasized throughout the story of the stormy sea voyage (Acts chap. 27), and especially in his intervention to save Paul's life (Acts 27:42-43).

Julius (fem. Julia) is the nomen of the gens Julia, an important patrician family of ancient Rome supposed to have descended from Julus, and thus from the goddess Venus. (See also: Julio-Claudian dynasty - Julia Caesaris). They apparently originated from Alba Longa[1], which was reputedly founded by Julus (also known as Ascanius), son of Aeneas (reputed ancestor of Romulus and Remus).
The name is also seen as Iulius and Iulia. There were many thousands of people bearing it, since the freedman took the gens name of their previous owners, thus many freedmen of the Julio-Claudian emperors received this name. The name lives on as a personal name, as Julius or in derived forms such as Italian Giulio, French Jules, Spanish Julio, Romanian Iuliu, et cetera.
