Julia

Julia was a Christian in Rome greeted by Paul in his closing salutations in Romans 16:15, grouped together with Philologus, Nereus, and his sister. The common Roman name suggests she may have been a freedwoman or slave connected to a household of the imperial Julian family, a pattern typical of many names in Paul's list. Nothing else about her is recorded beyond this single mention, though her inclusion shows women held recognized places in the earliest Roman house churches.
