Salvius Julianus was the chief of the Sabinians, preferred by Hadrian for composing the perpetual edict. His moderation gradually reconciled the competing schools of legal thought, the Sabinians and Proculians, bringing harmony to Roman jurisprudence through patient diplomacy rather than force.
Description
A Roman jurist of the Antonine period with the dignified bearing of a legal scholar, wearing a white toga with purple stripe. His appearance reflects both the formal dress of his profession and the thoughtful demeanor of one who mediates between opposing schools of thought.
