Focuses on the mentality of `the last pagan emperor' by examining a wide variety of his writings. The surviving speeches and treatises, satires and letters, offer a rare insight into the personal attitudes and motivations of Julian.
Julian''s brief reign (360-363 AD) had a profound impact on his contemporaries, as he worked fervently for a pagan restoration in the Roman Empire, which was rapidly becoming Christian.
Julian''s Gods focuses on the cultural mentality of `the last pagan Emperor'' by examining a wide variety of his own writings. The surviving speeches and treatises, satires and letters offer a rare insight into the personal attitudes and motivations of a remarkable Emperor. They show Julian as a highly educated man, an avid student of Greek philosophy, and a talented author in his own right.
This elegant and closely-argued study will deepen understanding not only of Julian, but of the context of fourth century Neoplatonism.
