Javolen was a school principal and teachers of the Sabinianer Salvius Julianus. The career of standing at the turn of the early - to Hochklasssik lawyers is well attested in inscriptions. Almost like in contrast to his won fame in Rome mentions the ascending minor career no Roman city offices - even the consulate not - but only provincial authorities.

Javolen began his career as a legate of Legio IV Flavia Felix in Dalmatia; afterwards, in the year 83, he was legate of Legio III Augusta in Numidia. After this command he was still iuridicus ( Court Officer) in the province of Britain ( 84/86? ), Before he, along with Aulus Bucius Lappius Maximus took last Nundinium (September / December) of the year 86 be Suffektkonsulat. Then Javolen had the Lega doors of the provinces Germania superior ( 89/90-91/92 ), Syria (approx. 98/99-ca.99/100 ) and Africa (about 101) holds.

Javolen sat in Konsilium of Trajan and Hadrian. His writings, especially the 14 libri epistularum, are feats of case analysis and problem-related, but not generalized acquisition of legal thought. Omnis definitio ( any definition ) seems dangerous to him in the area of the ius civile ( civil law ).
