Julian II (the Apostate) and his policies
#53
Quote:I don't want to blame Julian for his believe, but he would never have been able to restore the classical state and the classical religion.


I think only Diocletian tried to restore the traditional place of reverence for the Olympian gods. He tried to restore Jupiter's preeminence within the traditional pantheon with Sol Invinctus being subordinated to him.

Ammianus Marcellus himself says that Julian was very superstitious rather than religiously observant.
