Book
Paperback. Condition: Good. Pictorial Trade Paperback. A GOOD, CLEAN, TIGHT COPY. From the Publisher's Preface: Why should a person read a whole book about Julian the Apostate? He was, historically speaking, a fairly minor figure among the Roman emperors. He rules only some 20 months. He became emperor mainly because he was the nephew of Constantine the Great (307-337). His achievements are not all that notable. He left no posterity. He swam against the current of history, and as matters developed, history washed away his influence. Therefore, why study his life? Hopefully, a reading of Abbot Giuseppe Ricciotti's 'Julian the Apostate' will give that answer, but as a preparation for the reader, a few salient reasons might be mentioned. In actuality this historic biography is a continuation of or a sequel to the author's book 'The Age of Martyrs'. And as a panaroma of the 4th-century Roman world, the book is truly far more than simply a biography. For example, the life of Julain shows some of the problems attendant upon succession as the Roman Emperor: Julius Caesar, when he finally came to power in 44 B.C., forgave his political enemies in an act of magnamity, but they did not forgive him. They assassinated him. This led to five bloody civil wars over the next 17 years or so, wars that saw tens of thousands of Roman citizens killed.' 275 pages. "What makes 'Julian the Apostate' an intereting and authoritative book is that the author quotes original sources. And because the historian Ammianus Marcellinus was a friend of Julian, travelled with him and recorded events as he saw and experienced them." GG1.
