具体描述
This new study of the last pagan Roman emperor provides remarkable insight into the man and his times. The figure of Julian demands the attention of historians. As the last pagan Roman Emperor, he provides a focus for studying the religious transformations that were taking place in the empire in the fourth century. Further, his secular policies and concerns concentrate attention on other transformations -- social and political -- within the period. Notably, Julian elicited sharply divided opinion from his contemporaries, which is largely polarised between pagan supporters and Christian opponents. Such division of opinion is also matched by the modern literature on him. Was he the prospective saviour of the Roman Empire, or was he out-of-touch and living in the past? Was he an evangelist for Mithraism, or an altogether more traditional pagan? Was he a shrewd military man, or a rash risk-taker whose luck spectacularly ran out on his Persian expedition? These questions and more are asked and discussed, allowing students to reach their own verdict on this exciting and controversial emperor. Key Features: *Issues of historical significance are identified and discussed *Key passages of text are gathered and accessible in one volume *Modern interpretations of Julian are presented and considered

很好的导论性著作
评分很好的导论性著作
评分写得很清楚的研究入门，作者有点倾向不过很正常。核心问题绍介、主要讨论、重要学者，并伴有一批关键史料的翻译（尤其是AM和一些法律材料），详尽的bibliography和背后的essay questions，应该是设计给BA/MA seminar的教材用吧……我想扣一星的原因是，Tougher一直想问「what if Julian不那么早死/Constantius那时候没死。。。」这种问题【捂脸】……
