Julian II
360 to 363 AD
Grandson of Constantius I and Theodora; cousin of Delmatius, Hanniballianus, Licinius II, and Nepotian
Born as Flavius Claudius Iulianus he was a Roman Emperor of the Constantinian dynasty. He was the last Pagan Roman Emperor, and tried to restore the traditional worship as a measure to stop the decay of his world. Christian sources commonly refer to him as Julian the Apostate, because of his rejection of Christianity and conversion to Theurgy. After his brother Constantius Gallus was made Caesar of the East and executed by Constantius II, Julian was called to the emperor in Mediolanum and, on 6 November 355, made Caesar of the West and married to Constantius' sister Helena. In the years afterwards he fought the Germanic tribes that tried to intrude upon the Roman Empire. In the fourth year of his campaign in Gaul, Constantius ordered Julian to send Gallic troops to his eastern army. This provoked an insurrection by Petulantes troops, who proclaimed Julian emperor in Paris, and led to the allegiance of others. That same year, forces loyal to Constantius II captured the city of Aquileia, and was besieged by forces loyal to Julian. Civil war was avoided only by the death of Constantius II, who, in his last will, recognized Julian as his rightful successor. In March 363, Julian started his campaign against the Sassanid Empire, with the aim of taking back the Roman cities conquered by the Sassanids under the rule of Constantius II which his cousin had failed to take back. Julian Died during a retreat, on 26 June 363. He was succeeded by the short-lived Emperor Jovian.
