SPEAR Factoids about Julian of Halicarnassus — ܝܘܠܝܢܐ ܕܗܐܠܝܩܪܢܣܝܘܣ

Bp., theologian, controversialist.1
Julian was originally a collaborator of Severus of Antioch and bishop of Halicarnassus. After the accession of Justin I in 518, he was, as an opponent of Chalcedon, forced into exile and went to Egypt together with Severus. There, he clashed with his former mentor since he argued that Christ's body had always been immune to corruption and suffering, a notion fiercely contested by Severus. This conflict ushered in a lasting split among the miaphysites; the followers of Julian, known as Julianists or aphthartists, remained especially strong in Egypt during the remainder of the sixth century.8
