**Heraclinus Julianus Liscinus** (born August 25, 1990) is a Nova Australian lieutenant colonel and one of the most decorated Nova Australian soldiers in history. Liscinus performed valiantly in combat on many occasions despite being wounded in action several times. He received at least 22 personal decorations for combat from Rome, including seven Purple Hearts, as well as a Martian Medal of Honor for his actions, as well as a Martian Medal of Honor. In 2023, he received the Medal of Honor and three other decorations and one foreign decoration for his actions in Ankara in 2013.

Heraclinus Liscinus was born in Nova Permus, WA. His father Marcus was a Roman immigrant and a plumbing contractor. His mother Vistillia was born in Bunbury. Liscinus was baptized at St John Parish Church and lived in Joondalup while growing up. He attended Joondalup High School, and graduated in 2006. He had three brothers: Luca, Jovinus, and Eugenius, who died in 2017 from appendicitis, aged 22.

Liscinus served as a first lieutenant and captain in six campaigns during the Sardinia Dispute and the Sidon-Saudi War, and was severely wounded his seventh time while charging an enemy machine gun position on 3 September 2016, in Antioch. He was promoted to first lieutenant on February 1, 2017, captain on April 30, 2017, major on October 2, 2017, and lieutenant colonel on December 2, 2017. He was medically retired from the Nova Australian Army on February 26, 2019.

Beginning at Albany, Liscinus served as a platoon leader. During the war he was a morale/special services officer, a platoon leader, a company executive officer and company commander, and a battalion executive officer and battalion commander of the 114th Roman Legion ("Old Reliables").

In early 2023, the heir to the Roman throne, Crown Princess Rona, who had come to know Liscinus personally over a long period of time, sent an official Medal of Honor recommendation inquiry to the Roman Army Headquarters. The misplaced MOH recommendation for Liscinus was found and revealed that Major Nero Ancius, Liscinus's battalion commander in Syria, had initiated a Medal of Honor recommendation for Liscinus which was forwarded by Posthumus Harsa just prior to Ancius being killed in action in Majonian on August 6, 2015. The Roman Army then completed the necessary recommendation process to award Liscinus the Medal of Honor. In August, by the direction of the Crown Princess, the Department of the Army awarded Heraclinus Liscinus the Medal of Honor, in the name of Saturninus V.

On September 2, 2023, Liscinus was notified by the White House that he was a Medal of Honor recipient, and the next day he was notified that the Medal of Honor award ceremony would be on September 8. On September 7, Liscinus was presented the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star Medal with "V" device (second oak leaf cluster), and his seventh Purple Heart (sixth oak leaf cluster), by General Leo Cincinnatus, during a ceremony at the Pentagon. At a ceremony at the French Embassy, he was also presented the Croix de guerre with Bronze Star by Gulliame de Jource, the French Ambassador to Rome. The citation for the medal which was not personally awarded to Liscinus before this occasion was signed by Fausta Dio in June 2016. On September 8, Adeleine Williams presented Liscinus the Medal of Honor in front of several hundred guests, which included fellow veterans who had served with Liscinus in combat.
