Description:Good. ( Weidenfeld & Nicolson 1975, Hardback. ) As Browning...Good. ( Weidenfeld & Nicolson 1975, Hardback. ) As Browning explains, the emperor Julian remains a controversial figure within late classical historiography. Julian was a intellectual and philosopher who became Roman emperor. In a brief period, this bookish figure also became a military commander of some renown. At the same time, because Julian was a committed to the Graeco-Roman intellectual herritage, he renounced Christianity and returned to the old Pagan religious tradition. In doing so, he also tried intellectually to holt the spread of Christianity, which he viewed as a morbid death cult that was morally sapping the strength of the empire. Browing examines Julian's life within the wider political, social, economic, cultural and religious climate of the late Roman empire in which he lived. Lastlty, Browning goes on to explore how from a historiographical point of view, Julian has been represented in literature. The work taken as a whole, shows Julian as a man of unusual intellectual and personal ability, in whom, because of his position, came to be embody the hopes and fears and the shapest contradictions of his age.

Dustjacket has a few small tears and chipping.; 256 pages; Julian is called by Christians "The Apostate" because they believe he converted from Christianity to Paganism. He himself, as attested to in private letters between him and the Rhetorician Libanius, had Christianity forced on him as a child by his cousin Constantius II, who was a zealot Christian and would have not tolerated a pagan relative, but Julian had never really accepted any religion until his reading of the Homeric poems, some of the most important texts for the Greek religion. After this conversion to Hellenism he devoted his life to protecting and restoring the fame and security of this more ancient tradition as well as other religious traditions such as Judaism from Christian persecution. After gaining the purple, Julian started a religious reformation of the state, which, in his intentions, was to give back its lost strength to the Roman State. He supported the restoration of the old Roman faith, based on polytheism. Julian reduced the influence of Christian bishops in public offices. The lands taken by the Church were to be returned to their original owners, and the bishops lost the privilege to travel for free, at expenses of the State.
