 Auction of the Empire - Didius Julianus
Didius Julianus was born January 29, AD 137 likely in Mediolanum (Milan) into a prominent political family of the era.
As such, Didius Julianus rose steadily through the ranks of the cursus honorum reaching the post of quaestor a year before the ‘legal’ age (such legalities were often overlooked for the immediate court of the imperial family).
Julianus attempted to negotiate a co-emperorship with Severus and even executed Laetus and Marcia (Commodus’ praetorian prefect and his concubine respectively who were deeply responsible in the assassination) in an attempt to appease the legions, but there was little hope of stopping Severus who found no resistance in his march.

 Didius Julianus (March - June 193 AD)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
His father, Petronius Didius Severus, was the son of the noted jurist, Salvius Julianus and grandson of another jurist (also a Salvius Julianus) who had been consul twice.
Didius himself was brought up in the house of Domitia Lucilla, mother ofMarcus Aurelius, and he appears to have been a childhood friend of the emperor.
Marcus may have ensured that he receive a quastorship before the statuatory age, and certainly that he received an aedileship and praetorship, after which he was given command of the 22nd legion in Germany, where he appears to have distinguished himself, and was given the consulship in 175 (his colleague was Pertinax).

 Historia Augusta • Life of Didius Julianus
Didius Julianus, who gained possession of the empire after Pertinax, was the great-grandson of Salvius Julianus,1 a man who was twice consul, prefect of the city, and an authority in jurisprudence — which, more than anything else, had made him famous.
These charges were brought against Julianus: that he had been a glutton and a gambler; that he had exercised with gladiatorial arms; and that he had done all these things, moreover, when advanced in years, and after escaping the stain of these vices in his youth.
It is improbable that Didius was related to Salvius Julianus, for his family came from Milan, and since an inscription which connected Salvius with this city has been shown to be a forgery, there is no reason for supposing that he was a native of Milan.
