Flavius Claudius Julianus (331-363), known to history as “Julian the Apostate,” is one of the most interesting Roman Emperors (361-363), and his life is one of the most fascinating in all of ancient history. (There is more historical information available about his than about any other Emperor.)Nephew of Constantine the Great, he succeeded Constantius II (337-361), Constantine’s son, as Roman Emperor in 361, but ruled only some 20 months. Yet despite his short life and brief rule, he did many amazing things, and his biography gives a panoramic picture of the myriad problems faced by the Empire in those years. Intended as a sequel to the author’s book The Age of Martyrs—which covers from Diocletian (284) through the rise and government of Constantine the Great (306-337)—Julian the Apostate was written for both the historian and student of secular and Church history and will enlighten even the military historian. All will gain great insight into the history of that era from a reading of this unusual life by the master historian Abbot Giuseppe Riccioti.
