Subjects in this Topic:
A Christian woman at Rome, whom Paul salutes (), wife or sister of Philologus. Julius. Centurion of "Augustus' band" (a detachment probably of the emperor's praetorian body guards, attached to the Roman governor at Caesarea); had charge of Paul from Caesarea to Rome (; ). As all the centurions in New Testament, so Julia was an estimable character. He "courteously gave Paul liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself." God raises friends to His people even among enemies.
