Sufficient analysis of Julian’s own perspective reveals a complex individual who does not conform with the simplified caricature of Julian “the Apostate” who was focused on assailing Christianity. His aversion to the Christians was mainly motivated by the fact that they refused to participate in the state cult. This thesis will explore the relationship between properly honoring the gods and state health, its origins, and why it was essential to sacrifice to the gods.

  • Calendar of Roman Events
    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

  • Attempts at Restoring Pagan Hellenism During the Reign of Emperor Julian the Apostate
    International Journal of Orthodox Theology 5:4 (2014) 177 urn:nbn:de:0276-2014-4082 Marius Telea Attempts at restoring pagan Hellenism during the Reign of Emperor Julian the Apostate. Figures of Christian Martyrs Abstract In the Orthodox Church, martyrdom has always been regarded and understood as being the supreme trial of faith, through which Christians confess their faith in Jesus Christ the Saviour, even at the expense of their life. The violent and atrocious persecutions against Christians lasted almost three centuries, more precisely until 313, when Emperor Constantine the Great granted freedom to the Christian religion through the so-called Edict of Milan. Later, after persecutions ceased, the Marius Telea is PhD., relics of the holy martyrs were taken Associate Professor of History and Spirituality of out of their tombs and place with Byzantium at the Faculty devoutness in open vaults or of Orthodox Theology of reliquaries, and on the tombs of “December 1st 1918” saints and martyrs were built the first University of Alba Iulia, churches called martyria. Here, Romania. 178 Marius Telea Christians began to assemble so as to glorify God and to pray the saint martyrs for intercession before the throne of the Holy Trinity for the salvation of people. Keywords Paganism, Julian the Apostate, Hellenism, Martyrs 1 Introduction The fourth century AD meant the final victory of Christianity over paganism. The Greek-Roman paganism with its gods and culture was drawing to an end. The Christian religion and culture sprang bright and powerful on the ruins of the pagan religion and culture. The temples of Greek and Roman gods were destroyed by Christian missionaries, and Christianity became a state religion.

  • The Gender of Money: Byzantine Empresses on Coins (324–802)’ Gender & History, Vol.12 No
    Gender & History ISSN 0953–5233 Leslie Brubaker and Helen Tobler, ‘The Gender of Money: Byzantine Empresses on Coins (324–802)’ Gender & History, Vol.12 No. 3 November 2000, pp. 572–594. The Gender of Money: Byzantine Empresses on Coins (324–802) Leslie Brubaker and Helen Tobler Coins played different roles in the ancient and medieval worlds from those that they play in the economy today. In the late antique and early Byzantine world – that is, roughly between 300 and 800 – there were in a sense two currencies: gold coins and base metal (copper) coins. Both were minted and distributed by the state, but the gold solidi (in Latin) or nomismata (in Greek), introduced in 309, were by the end of the fifth century in practice used above all for the payment of tax and for major transactions such as land sales, while the copper coins (nummi, replaced in 498 by folles) were broadly the currency of market transactions.1 Another striking difference is that late antique and Byzantine coin types changed with great frequency: as an extreme example, Maria Alföldi catalogued over seven hundred different types for a single emperor, Constantine I the Great (306–37, sole ruler from 324).2 There are many reasons for this, but one of the most import- ant has to do with communication: centuries before the advent of the press, images on coins were a means to circulate information about the state. This is particularly true of the first three and a half centuries covered by this article. While the extent to which coins were used in daily exchange transactions is still uncertain, and was very variable, the frequency with which they appear in archaeological excavations of urban sites throughout the former eastern Roman empire until 658 indicates their wide diffusion.

  • A Numismatic Iconographical Study of Julian the Apostate
    A Revolutionary or a Man of his Time? A Numismatic Iconographical Study of Julian the Apostate Master’s Thesis in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History, Spring 2018 Department of Archaeology and Ancient History Lund University Author: Nicolas Frendin Supervisor: Henrik Gerding 2 Abstract Julian the Apostate’s short rule has left in the historical records a clearly divisive picture. This thesis starts with that divisive nature of the reign of Rome’s last pagan emperor and aims to analyse some of the Apostate’s coinage iconography. Can the symbols used on the coins minted during his reign say something about his allegedly revolutionary rule? By choosing to focus on a set of ten symbols found of Julian’s coins, this thesis was subsequently divided in a three-phased analysis in order to approach the subject. Julian’s coin iconography was first analysed in comparison to the totality of the Roman Emperors, stretching back to Octavian/Augustus. The second step was to put Julian’s rule within its own context and compare his coinage iconography to that of his predecessors in his own family, the second Flavian dynasty. The last step was to observe the changes during Julian’s two periods of time in power: being first a Caesar – subordinate to his cousin Constantius II – and later on the sole ruler/Augustus. Julian’s iconography was also compared to Constantius’. The results tend to show that most of Julian’s coin iconography could be characterised as conventional. The true departures can be divided into either obvious or surprising ones. 3 Contents

  • The Experiences and Education of the Emperor Julian and How It
    COMPANION TO THE GODS, FRIEND TO THE EMPIRE: THE EXPERIENCES AND EDUCATION OF THE EMPEROR JULIAN AND HOW IT INFLUE NCED HIS REIGN Marshall Lilly Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2014 APPROVED: Christopher Fuhrmann, Major Professor Laura Stern, Committee Member Robert Citino, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Lilly, Marshall. Companion to the Gods, Friend to the Empire: The Experiences and Education of the Emperor Julian and How It Influenced His Reign 361-363 A.D. Master of Arts (History), August 2014, 108 pp., bibliography, 114 titles. This thesis explores the life and reign of Julian the Apostate the man who ruled over the Roman Empire from A.D. 361-363. The study of Julian the Apostate’s reign has historically been eclipsed due to his clash with Christianity. After the murder of his family in 337 by his Christian cousin Constantius, Julian was sent into exile. These emotional experiences would impact his view of the Christian religion for the remainder of his life. Julian did have conflict with the Christians but his main goal in the end was the revival of ancient paganism and the restoration of the Empire back to her glory. The purpose of this study is to trace the education and experiences that Julian had undergone and the effects they it had on his reign. Julian was able to have both a Christian and pagan education that would have a lifelong influence on his reign.

  • Julian the Apostle: the Emperor Who “Brought Piety As It Were Back from Exile”
    MJUR 2017, Issue 8 103 Julian the Apostle: The Emperor who “Brought Piety as it Were Back from Exile” Adrian Scaife Rhodes College Abstract Julian the Apostate stands as the only pagan emperor to rule after Constantine the Great instituted Christianity as the state religion of the Roman Empire. During his reign he attempted to reestablish classical religion to its former preeminence, though he also recognized the need to adapt these practices to the context of the post-Diocletian, post-Constantinian empire. This paper will explore his paradoxical forward-looking conservatism through an analysis of the ways in which Julian’s paganism came to resemble the Christian faith he hoped to replace, namely the role of the priesthood, the emerging “pagan orthodoxy,” and the reorganization of the religious power structure into a strict hierarchy. Julian was a prolific writer, and his extant literature provides rare insight into the intentions and beliefs of this notable iconoclast. His polarizing attitudes garnered both enthusiastic praise and ardent condemnation from contemporary historians and theologians, all of which combine to produce an outsized historical record for an emperor whose reign lasted less than two years. Ultimately, the formidable intellectual and political challenge Julian posed to the Christian community required a proportional response, and the extent to which he affected the development of Christianity arguably makes Julian a “father of the Church.” From the end of the third century and into the fourth century CE, the vast Roman Empire underwent arguably the most significant shift in Western history. The military ballooned in size and social and political importance, necessitating a sprawling bureaucracy to support its needs.

  • The Date of the Destruction of the Sanctuary of Poseidon on the Isthmus of Corinth
    THE DATE OF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE SANCTUARY OF POSEIDON ON THE ISTHMUS OF CORINTH (PLATES 61, 62) T HE deposit of coins here published was found in the spring campaign of 1971 at the Sanctuary of Poseidon on the Isthmus. Coins and five pieces of small sculpture in marble lay together within a small area in the fill at the southernmost of two corners made by joining walls of rubble construction in one of the buildings which occupy the field immediately east of the temple of Poseidon (grid S17, P1. 62).' We give here the complete account of the hoard promised elsewhere.2 Ninety-seven coins were recovered (IC 71-11 through 107), all bronze and all of small module (3 or 4). The seventy-six best preserved are these. ' Coins and sculpture were reported in AeXr. 26, XpOVLKa, 1971. Three sherds representing two vessels were found with the deposit. We thought that neither vase had been the container of the coins. 2 Clement, "The Date of the Hexamilion," Studies in Memory of Basil Laourdas, Thes- saloniki, 1975, pp. 98-101. Idem, "Alaric and the Fortifications of Greece," Ancient Macedonia (Second International Conference, August 19-24, 1973: Thessaloniki, Institute for Balkan Studies, forthcoming). The coin inventory for the 1971 campaign was written by Beaton during the course of the campaign. The coins of this hoard were studied in Kyras Vrysi by Clement in the summers of 1971 and 1974 and a draft of the present catalogue written. The whole material was put into essentially its final form by both collaborators working together in Los Angeles in the winter of 1974-1975.

He has inspired a great deal of interest among generations of researchers1. He was both a just emperor, a skilled administrator, a wise commander, and a talented writer. The literary work of Julian the Apostate is vast although it cannot be ful- ly assessed because some of the emperor’s works have been lost. The ruler left behind numerous literary pieces2: 8 orations; 2 satires – Misopogon, or the Beard Hater, and The Caesars, a polemic treatise Against the Galilaeans; a collection of 1 G.
