Julianus, the last pagan Roman emperor, declared war on the Persians in 362 and created a route that would pass through Ankara. Upon the news that the emperor would take a break on the way to the expedition and stay in the city, preparations began in the whole city and the Julianus Column was erected to honor him. The Column of Julianus, which did not undergo any repairs or renovations for many years, was restored by the governorship in 2001.
