Mamertinus served as consul-elect and demonstrated his eloquence as a judge at the tribunal of Chalcedon. As the new consul, he hastened to the palace to salute Emperor Julian on New Year's Day, representing both the continuity of Roman legal tradition and the transition of power during a crucial period.
