 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Julian the Apostate
Julian received a Christian training, but the recollection of the murder of his relatives sowed in him a bitter resentment against the authors of that massacre, and he extended this hatred to the Christians in general.
Julian was presented on 6 November, 355, to the army as Caesar, married the emperor's youngest sister Helena, and then sent to Gaul.
Julian issued a decree that all titles to lands, rights and immunities bestowed since the reign of Constantine upon the Galileans, as he contemptuously called the Christians, were abrogated, and that the moneys granted to the Church from the revenues of the State must be repaid.

 The History of the Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire - Vol 2 - Chapter XXIV Part I
Julian was persuaded to fix, till the ensuing spring, his residence at Antioch, among a people maliciously disposed to deride the haste, and to censure the delays, of their sovereign.
Julian still continued to applaud his own policy, treated the complaints of the people as a vain and ungrateful murmur, and convinced Antioch that he had inherited the obstinacy, though not the cruelty, of his brother Gallus.
Julian might disdain the acclamations of a venal court, who adored the Imperial purple; but he was deeply flattered by the praise, the admonition, the freedom, and the envy of an independent philosopher, who refused his favors, loved his person, celebrated his fame, and protected his memory.

 Roman Emperors - DIR Julian the Apostate
Julian was the last direct descendent of the Constantinian line to ascend to the purple, and it is one of history's great ironies that he was the last non-Christian emperor.
Julian was put under the care of Mardonius, a Scythian eunuch who had tutored his mother, in 339, and was raised in the Greek philosophical tradition, and probably lived in Nicomedia.
Julian seems to have given up actual Christian belief before his acclamation as emperor and was a practitioner of more traditional Greco-Roman religious beliefs, in particular, a follower of certain late antique Platonist philosophers who were especially adept at theurgy as was noted earlier.

 The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire XXIV
Julian was an object of terror and hatred to the Persians; and the painters of that nation represented the invader of their country under the emblem of a furious lion, who vomited from his mouth a consuming fire.
Julian contented himself with observing that conquest and safety depended on the attempt; that, instead of diminishing, the number of their enemies would be increased by successive reinforcements; and that a longer delay would neither contract the breadth of the stream nor level the height of the bank.
Julian, who always contented himself with such food as a hungry soldier would have disdained, distributed, for the use of the troops, the provisions of the Imperial household, and whatever could be spared from the sumpter-horses of the tribunes and generals.

 Rome - Vol II, Chapter XXIV, Part 1
The majority of the people supported the glory of the Christian name, which had been first invented by their ancestors: 13 they contended themselves with disobeying the moral precepts, but they were scrupulously attached to the speculative doctrines of their religion.
The church of Antioch was distracted by heresy and schism; but the Arians and the Athanasians, the followers of Meletius and those of Paulinus, 14 were actuated by the same pious hatred of their common adversary.
Yet the sophist of Antioch sometimes descended from this imaginary elevation; he entertained a various and elaborate correspondence; 26 he praised the virtues of his own times; he boldly arraigned the abuse of public and private life; and he eloquently pleaded the cause of Antioch against the just resentment of Julian and Theodosius.

 Roman Emperors - DIR Jovian
Ammianus sets the choice of Jovian immediately after Julian had died but before his demise had been announced to the troops and attributes the choice of Jovian over other, allegedly more suitable candidates, to the vocal support of a few hot-headed soldiers.
Zonaras (13.13.4) alleges that Julian had discerned a presage of the rule of Jovian when the later accidentally stepped on Julian's purple cloak as the pair descended a slope during the Persian campaign, and John Lydus (De mensibus 4.118) alone preserves a version which alleges that Julian, on his deathbed, actually nominated Jovian.
If Ammianus can be trusted, the reactions of the field army to Julian's death, the mutiny of the garrison of Milan occasioned by its announcement by Lucillianus, the father-in-law of Jovian, and Lucillianus' subsequent murder by troops at Rhiems indicate that caution was justified.

 Julian the Apostate, Against the Galileans   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
