Biography
Jullian was born in Marseille.[1] Specialising in Gaul and the Roman epoch,[1] he was notably a student of the École Normale Supérieure, member of the École française de Rome and professor of national antiquities at the Collège de France. His major work is a multi-volume history of Gaul.
He was involved with the controversy over the archaeological findings at Glozel in France; he was among those who believed the artefacts recovered were faked.[1]
Jullian was elected member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres in 1908 and the Académie française in 1924. He was a member of the Legion of Honour.[1]
He died in Paris in 1933. His daughter married a man of questionable background named Simounet, a war veteran who ended his life in poverty; their son, the author Philippe Jullian, took instead his grandfather's name.[2]
