Jullian is the author of a monumental Histoire de la Gaule, published in eight volumes between 1907 and 1928, which has influenced Celtic studies throughout the 20th century.[2][3][4]
Biography
Camille Louis Jullian was born on 15 March 1859 in
Marseille, the son of Camille Jullian, a merchant and banker, and Marie Rouvière. Jullian came from a
Protestant family of farmers originally from
Calvisson,
Gard. He attended the lycée of Marseille between 1864 and 1877, then the
École Normale Supérieure, where he earned an
agrégation in history and geography in 1880. Jullian was a member of the
École française de Rome between 1880 and 1882. He became Doctor in Literature in March 1884.[5]
Jullian was involved with the controversy over the archaeological findings at Glozel in France; he was among those who believed the artefacts recovered were forgeries.[6]
In April 1890, Jullian married Jeanne Azam, the daughter of Étienne Azam, Professor of Medicine, and Anne Rolland. They had a daughter named Suzanne.[5] The latter married a man named Simounet, a war veteran who ended his life in poverty; their son, the author
Philippe Jullian, took instead his grandfather's name.[7]
