career

Military tribune with consular authority

In 438 BC In BC Lucius Iulius Iullus was appointed to the military tribune with consular authority for the first time, together with Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus and Mamercus Aemilius Mamercinus . During her tenure, the city of Fidenae rebelled , drove out the local Roman garrison and allied with Lars Tolumnius , King of Veji . In addition, the ambassadors sent to Fidenae were murdered on arrival (they should inquire about the motives for the breach of loyalty).

For the office of the consular tribune, however, there is definitely the possibility of confusion with Gaius Iulius Iullus , who was already in 447 BC. Had acted as consul and 435 and 434 BC. BC again took this post.

Magister equitum

In 431 BC BC the Roman territory was threatened by the Aequers and the Volscians who gathered on Mount Algidus . The Senate and the tribunes asked the two consuls Titus Quinctius Pennus Cincinnatus and Gnaeus Iulius Mento to appoint a dictator to lead the Roman army. Cincinnatus chose his father-in-law, Aulus Postumius Tubertus , who was known to be a strict and unyielding commander. Tubertus for his part appointed Iullus as commanding officer of the cavalry ( Magister equitum ). The Aequer and Volscians were eventually defeated and Tubertus returned to Rome to celebrate his triumph .

consulate

In 430 BC Iullus held the office of consul together with the re-elected Lucius Papirius Crassus . During their mandate, Aequer, defeated the previous year, conducted peace negotiations with the Senate. Since they even offered their submission, they were granted an eight-year truce. The likewise defeated Volscians, on the other hand, were divided in their attitude towards Rome and divided into doves (peace advocates) and falcons (war advocates).
