I read it maybe 15 years ago & remember being very impressed. Gore Vidal is one of my favorite writers, though he has some rather quirky ideas. I knew nothing about Julian at the time I read it, and I must admit not much more now (my real interest ends in Roman history with Diocletian), so I can't speak to its historical accuracy. I need to broaden my horizons into more modern times (ie, the 4th century) -- perhaps I'll read it again.<br>
