Quote: To compare Julian to Pius who pursued peaceful policies and internal harmony doesn't appear seemly to me. Where's the comparison ?
I didn't compare their policies! I just said that both are in contrast to emperors like Trajan,or Augustus often forgotten,because they lack the military success that seems to be so important for many people today.Caesar for example wouldn't be so famous today,if he hadn't conquered Gaul!
