'"Roman emperor, philosopher, soldier, reformer, poet. One of the most colorful figures of antiquity. Martial genius rivalling the level of Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great. Devoted to the Hellenistic gods, he fights against Christianity. Loses his life at the age of thirty-two.
The atmosphere of the end of the old world being replaced by something worse hovers over the novel. The pagans are gradually passing away into the past , and with them is fading the splendor of an empire that will never again be as strong as it once was.
Vidal artfully recreates the realities of the era in the second half of the 4th century AD. Julian is seen as one of the best historical novels written by him." Source; Erica Publishing
