The Emperor Julian

First published in 1908, The Emperor Julian is a definitive biography of one of ancient Rome's most fascinating and enigmatic figures. Gerald Henry Rendall, a renowned scholar of classical history, provides a detailed account of Julian's life, from his childhood as the orphaned nephew of Constantine the Great to his rise to power and eventual downfall. Drawing on a wide range of historical sources, Rendall paints a vivid portrait of a man who was both a brilliant military leader and a complex spiritual seeker.
