Gaius Julius Aquila was the name of a number of people who lived during the Roman Empire.
Gaius Julius Aquila was a praefectus of Roman Egypt between 10 CE and 11.[1] [2]
Gaius Julius Aquila was a Roman knight, stationed with a few cohorts, in 45 CE, to protect Tiberius Julius Cotys I, king of the Bosporan Kingdom, who had received the sovereignty after the expulsion of Tiberius Julius Mithridates. In the same year, Aquila obtained the praetorian insignia.[3] He also erected a monument honouring the emperor Claudius in Asia Minor (modern Turkey) known as the Kuşkayası Monument.[4]
