Anicia Juliana was a Late Antique Roman imperial princess, wife of the magister militum of the eastern Roman empire, Areobindus Dagalaiphus Areobindus, patron of the great Church of St Polyeuctus in Constantinople, and owner of the Vienna Dioscurides. She was the daughter of the Roman emperor Olybrius and his wife Placidia, herself the daughter of the emperor Valentinian III and Licinia Eudoxia, through whom Anicia Juliana was also great-granddaughter of the emperor Theodosius II and the sainted empress Aelia Eudocia. During the rule of the Leonid dynasty and the rise of the later Justinian dynasty, Anicia Juliana was thus the most prominent member of both the preceding imperial dynasties, the Valentinianic dynasty established by Valentinian the Great and the related Theodosian dynasty established by Theodosius the Great.
