Julian II (the Apostate) and his policies

[TITVS SABATINVS AQVILIVS]

To add something to what mentioned above and not to pronounce a panegyric, I just like to say that, totally integrated in that initiatic élite who, in the extreme phase of the decadence of the classical and traditional world, preserved the cache of a superior knowledge, Julian understood the deep meaning of the symbols and penetrated the esoteric dimension of the Myth, succeeding to get the full awareness about the transcendent unity of the several traditions.

Really in very few words, for Julian, the unification of all those traditions could and had to coincide with the ideal of the State, of the Empire, of Roma. Under the sign of Helios/ Apollo/ Mithra/ Sol Invictus. Julian's syncretism goes from the most ancient religions and spiritualities, across Homer, Plato, the Mysteria of Eleusys, Mithraism, the greek-roman Pantheon, the neoplatonics Plotinus, Porfirius, and last but not least Giamblicus, the "divine Giamblicus" with whom Julian agreed above all when asserted that just the philosophical inference is not enough to get the trascendent and true knowledge, but according with the theurgy, the ritual practices, if perfectly accomplished, are necessary to keep the Humans "interacting" with the intellegible world.
About the superior order, since the "One", the "Absolute Good", a hierarchy of hypostasis ( the Gods) "proceeds" and allows the continuity from the intellegible and ineffable world of the "One" to the sensible world of the Humans. In this hierarchy, the Sun is the image to whom the ineffable "One" leans on (hoping that the term "lean" be right).
That explains why Julian was so IMO. His right "obsession" for a philosophical, religious and imperial "unity" had a superior purpose: reaching a perfect "Pietas" could get a "perfect" world. The perfect World was represented by the "Imperium Romae" the "Pulchrius Imperium" and its contract with the Gods, or the "One", with a hellenistic point of view.
So, his obsession/mission was the complete "Restauratio Imperii" and he put in this sacred mission all his body and all his soul, not sparing himself. None can tell he did'nt.
Someone accuses him to be just a fanatic and annoying grind, but he was nice, kind, right and at the right moment fun too. Many loved him for his behaviour and manners and after his death, also a christian poet like Prudentius admitted that Julian was a fair, right, good Emperor and brave soldier.
Due to the lack of an imperial colleague and Caesars, someone accuses him to be an "oriental kind" monarch and not a true roman "constitutional King", yes he was the only emperor, but he always told to his Consistorium: "correct me if I'm wrong", and always allowed a fair criticism. This is constitutional enough to me, seen his predecessors.

He served Roma as a Soldier too, in front-line, supporting his soldiers and risking his life, and he was victorious (at Maranga too...).

He was a man of fine and incredibly vast culture, a fine and indefatigable writer always using a simple and effective style.

He was absolutely "pius", and deeply respected any other religion (except for the Christians, above all because the Trinity concept, he considered blasphemous of course)

He suffered a terrible and defamatory christian propaganda, that arrived to define him "the beast". After his death, also a ferocious "damnatio memoriae".

He tried to keep his soul "pure" for all his life.

He was emperor just from 361 to 363 and died (K.I.A.) at 31.

What can one like from an Emperor, more than that?

And what you think the PRIMANI can say? IVLIANE VIVAS! ARGENTORATE!
