Julia
Julia
(, Rom 16:15, a Latin name, the feminine form of Julius [the name of a famous Roman gens]. Both of these were extremely common names. The name Julia is very frequently found as a name of female slaves belonging to the Imperial household)
A woman saluted by St. Paul and coupled with Philologus. They may have been brother and sister, or more probably husband and wife. Other couples saluted in Romans 16 are Aquila and Prisca (Rom 16:3, the order being, however, Prisca and Aquila), perhaps Andronicus and Junia (Rom 16:7; see Junias), and Nereus and his sister (Rom 16:15). It has been conjectured that the names in this verse are those of persons forming a Christian family with a household church ( ). If this be so, Philologus and Julia were perhaps the parents of Nereus and his sister (Nerias) and Olympas, and the leaders of the little community which gathered for worship at their home (cf. Rom 16:3, where a married couple are saluted as fellow-labourers with the Apostle, and the salutation includes the church which assembles at their house). The locality to which we assign this circle of Christians will depend upon our view of the destination of Rom 16:3-20. Nothing further is known of any of these persons.

Julia
A Christian woman at Rome, whom Paul salutes (Rom 16:15), 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 (Act 27:1; Act 27:3). 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.
