I t is usually thought so far that Iulius Iulianus demarcated the frontiers as procurator agens vice praesidis between two willages in Phrygian Pınarbaşı, is the governor of joint province of Phrygia-Caria under Valerianus-Gallienus. On the other hand it is accepted for a long time, the first governor of new province separated from old senatorial province Asia and established in the middle of the third century, is praeses-legatus Augusti propraetore Quintus Fabius Clodius Agrippianus Celsinus (late 249-early 250). Among the governors of Phrygia-Caria there is no any equestrian procurator except Iulius Iulianus. The same is also true for the province Asia except very few extraordinary examples. In the Pınarbaşı inscription, Iulius Iulianus is seen as διέ π οντος κὲ τὰ τῆς ἡγει μο νίας μέρη Φρυγίας τε κὲ Καρίας . The same statement also seen in Lydian Ağabeyköy inscription should be dated to the Philippus Arabs as διέ π οντ < ο > ς Ἀἰλίου Ἀγλάου τοῦ κρατίστου καὶ τῆς ἀν θυ π ατείας μέρη . It is defended by the author that these two inscriptions must be thought synchronously. μέρη indicates the division of Asia and as transitional governors equestrian procuratores had the accession in both provinces as procurator agens vice proconsulis and procurator agens vice praesidis. So Iulius Iulianus should be the first governor of Phrygia-Caria. After him praesides – legati Augusti propraetore administered the joint province of Phrygia-Caria. A certain Iulius Iulianus is known also from Nysa ad Maeandrum. This person may be the same with the governor of Phrygia-Caria. Concerning Clodius Celsinus some inscriptions captured either from Phrygia or from Caria by this time. A new Clodius Celsinus inscription from Nysa is being introduced by the author and it is known from this inscription that Nysa is kept in the new joint province of Phrygia-Caria, so Nysa was a Carian city in the 3rd century.
