For the ignorant swine of the modern day, Lord Julius being so fat is because fatness is the perfect form for any divine man...

But for real, back then you either were skinny because you were poor and broke as hell, so no good food, or you were decently built as a warrior. But those of higher class status didn't bother fighting themselves most of the time, so they were fat because they ate and lounged around. Fatness was a sure sign of great wealth. Food was the ultimate luxury aside from having servants and such.
