JULIUS.—For the voyage to Rome St. Paul was committed with other prisoners to the charge of a centurion named Julius, ‘of the Augustan band’ or cohort (Act_27:1). Julius showed much kindness to the Apostle, and evidently treated him as a man of importance, though he did not take his advice on a matter of navigation (Act_27:3; Act_27:9; Act_27:11; Act_27:21; Act_27:31; Act_27:43, Act_28:16). Sir Wm. Ramsay suggests (St. Paul, p. 323) that, as Julius rather than the captain or ‘sailing master’ (not ‘owner’) had supreme command (Act_27:11), the ship must have been a Government vessel. He and his soldiers were probably frumentarii or peregrini, having a camp at Rome and engaged in the commissariat of distant legions, and in bringing political prisoners. In Act_28:16 some MSS (not the best) say that the prisoners were delivered to the captain of the guard in Rome. This, if a gloss, is at least probably true; the captain of the peregrini would be meant. (See also art. Band.) A. J. Maclean.

Julius
(Ι᾿ούλιος, for the Latin Julius, the name of an honorable Roman family), the centurion of the imperial cohort who had the charge of conducting Paul as a prisoner to Rome, and who treated him with much consideration and kindness on the way (Act_27:1; Act_27:3; Act_27:43; comp. Act_27:11; Act_27:31). A.D. 55. — Kitto. "Augustus's band," to which Julius belonged, has been identified by some commentators with the Italian band (Act_10:1); by others, less probably, with the body of cavalry denominated Sebasteni by Josephus (Ant. 19, 9, 2, etc.). Conybeare and Howson (Life of St. Paul, ch. 21) adopt in the main Wieseler's opinion, that the Augustan cohort was a detachment of the Praetorian Guards attached to the person of the Roman governor at Caesarea; and that this Julius may be the same as Julius Priscus (Tacitus, Hist. 2, 92; 4, 11), sometime centurion, afterwards prefect of the Praetorians. SEE ITALIAN; SEE PAUL.
