Description

Flavius Claudius Julianus, known to history as Julian "the Apostate," was a fascinating figure of late antiquity. His reign inspired both admiration and contempt. Julian's ambitious program aimed to reinstate the religion of his ancestors, subduing the growth of Christianity in the process. He sought to revive classical Roman religion, reform the pagan priesthood, and revitalize training in classics and philosophy. This included rebuilding the Jewish temple in Jerusalem as a provocative challenge to Christian prophecy. This translation presents Julian's complete corpus of writings for the first time in modern English, offering insights into his philosophical views and their significance in late antiquity.
