Lucius Tettius Julianus was a Roman general who held a number of imperial appointments during the Flavian dynasty.
[1] He may be the brother of Gaius Tettius Africanus, prefect of Egypt, who married Funisulana Vettulla, the daughter of Lucius Funisulanus Vettonianus, suffect consul in 78.
[2] Julianus first appears in the historical record as the legatus legionis or commander of Legio VII Claudia, one of the three legions stationed in Moesia under Marcus Aponius Saturninus, and, along with his fellow commanders, received consular ornaments from Otho, in consequence of a victory which they gained over the Rhoxolani, a Sarmatian tribe.
On the triumph of the party of Vespasian, he was, notwithstanding, appointed one of the praetors; but the Roman senate would not allow him to enter upon the dignity, and conferred his office upon Plotius Grypus, on 1 January 70.
[6] Tettius was commander of Legio III Augusta from 80 through 82, effectively making him also governor of Numidia those years;[7] this was followed with his accession to suffect consul.
