Comment on Death Of Julian by EthicallyChallenged
Tremendous work, great drama, characterisation, lighting, detail.
'Galilean, thou hast conquered', as the emperor probably didn't say. I read the novelised biography of 'Julian' by Gore Vidal, not too long ago. Worth seeking out if you are interested in this historical personality. This reminds me of that.

That line was for the first time inserted in his mouth by Theodoret almost 100 years after Julianus died...and not surprisingly Theodoret was a fanatical Christian who fanatically hated Julianus.
Indeed, but you know the Christians. Using the written records against their enemies. They even revendicated his death as a murder. BLASPHEMY ! THEY DARED TO TOUCH THE PRINCEPS !
