Proceeding directly from an evaluation of the ancient sources--the testimony of friends and enemies of Julian as well as the writings of the emperor himself--the author traces Julian's youth, his years as the commander of the Roman forces in Gaul, and his emergence as sole ruler in the course of a dramatic march to Constantinople. In G. W. Bowersock's analysis of Julian's religious revolution, the emperor's ardent espousal of a lost cause is seen to have made intolerable demands upon pagans, Jews, and Christians alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614729683095,"sku":"9780674488823","price":3807.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780674488823.webp?v=1775095844","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/julian-the-apostate-9780674488823","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
