Ulpius Julianus

Ulpius Julianus was a Censor in 217 AD and Princeps Peregrinorum. He may have been loyal to the praetorian prefect Macrinus. Ulpius would be made a Praetorian Prefect. He would be killed during Elagabalus's uprising against Macrinus. Macrinus sent Ulpius Julianus with a cavalry contingent of the third Legion to fight Elagabalus. The cavalry betrayed Macrinus and killed Julianus. Ulpius Julianus' head was presented to Macrinus at dinner.[1][2][3][4][5]
