Gnaeus Iulius Verus was Roman general and senator of the mid-2nd century AD, eventually becoming governor of Britain. Verus came from Aequum in Dalmatia, probably the son of Sextus Julius Severus (consul 127), born in 112. He served as tribune in the legio X Fretensis when his father was governor of Judaea in 132-5. The he served as monetalis, quaestor Augusti, and was co-opted as an augur all suggest that he was marked out at an early career for a prominent career.
