Publius Salvius Iulianus (Consul 175)
Publius Salvius Iulianus († 182) was a Roman politician and senator of the 2nd century AD.
Salvius was the son of the jurist Salvius Iulianus and probably extensively related to the imperial family, since his grandfather Lucius Catilius Severus was also the adoptive grandfather of Marcus Aurelius . In 175 he was a full consul and in 180, at the death of Mark Aurel, had a large army under him. It was most likely a consular governorship. Accordingly, he is likely to have served as a legate either in the province of Pannonia superior , in one of the two Mösian provinces, in Cappadocia or in Syria Palestine .
Cassius Dio reports that shortly after the death of Marcus Aurelius, Salvius refused to usurp Commodus out of loyalty to the deceased emperor. The Historia Augusta reports that the Praetorian prefect Publius Taruttienus Paternus was accused of promising his daughter to the son of Salvius and wanting to make Salvius emperor himself. The conspiracy was exposed and both were executed.
