The '''House of Julius''' was the senior house of the Julian dynasty from the fifth century until the tenth century. Its name is mostly an anachronism; in its time, it was referred to as the ''Julii Cicurini'' based on the hereditary {{wp|cognomen}} of "Cicurini". The exact time when the Cicurini emerged as the leader of the {{wp|Julia gens}} is generally not known, but it is generally accepted that it was the sole remaining politically and economically relevant part of the Julii by the time of the collapse of [[Great Levantia]]. Best known of all the Julii Cicurini is [[Saint Julius of the Caeline]], whose participation in the foundation of the [[Holy Levantine Empire|Levantine Empire]] ensured the dynasty's lasting rule over the [[Archduchy of Urceopolis]] and beyond. | The '''House of Julius''' was the senior house of the Julian dynasty from the fifth century until the tenth century.

From the time of Saint Julius's election as [[Duchy of Urceopolis|Dux of Urceopolis]], the Julii Cicurini reigned in Urceopolis. This senior branch of the family experienced various deaths and female births to close the 800s, leading to a succession issue. Cumhachtabilis, the last male of the senior Julii Cicurini, died without issue in [[922]]. | From the time of Saint Julius's election as [[Duchy of Urceopolis|Dux of Urceopolis]], the Julii Cicurini reigned in Urceopolis.

The Julii Cicurini existed prior to the [[History of heraldry|age of heraldry]], and accordingly several {{wp|attributed arms}} were usually used to symbolize the family during the medieval period. Most commonly, the heraldic depiction of Saint Julius - the basic symbol of the Julian dynasty - was used and also later appended to the House of Harren. | |||
