I had exactly the same issue, had I did was to remove the line from the database
that specified the Iulius theme[1], then when the frontend started up it reset
to the default. Then you can change the theme as normal.

Possibly it would be an idea to change the theme code so that it defaults to 
the default theme if it cannot find a theme?

from the pre-0.18 backup
