Meetings and collisions with Julian: The Apostate and his sequels along the history
Abstract
This article offers a sample of the different attitudes expressed to the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate (361-363), starting with those of his contemporaries through to more recent authors. Some have been his out-spoken enemies and others his enthusiastic followers, while some historians or writers have taken a more moderate view of the Emperor. What has been generally projected on to him is an apologetic interest in defending or rejecting Christianity, something which Julian himself criticized. The tragic condition of the figure of Julian is defined by the transitional period through he lived and by the fact that he represents the typical “convert” who has an intense spiritual experience of both the religion he abandoned and the new one he acquired.
