Julian Augustus
The Roman emperor Julian employed both words and deeds to return the empire to paganism and reverse Christianization, inspired by his conversion to the Neoplatonic philosophy and radical pagan Hellenism of Iamblichus, and promoted by his own production of Greek literature. These works present a coherent vision of the providentially guided history and destiny of Rome as a series of (re)foundations enacted by rulers such as Romulus, Numa, and Augus…

Continuities of lupine themes and romanticization of Sparta and Rome exist between fascist Germany and Italy, contemporary far-right political and pagan organizations, and bands that combine these two subjects in a unique but consistent way. Also inspired by Nietzsche, Evola and social Darwinists, bands such as Der Stürmer, Katax…
Prosecuting Epicurus in the Emperor Julian's Court
Himerius Or. 3 is a declamation in which a nameless prosecutor accuses the philosopher Epicurus of impiety for teaching doctrines that deny the existence of divine providence. This article argues that the declamation deliberately voices Himerius's contemporary religious concerns by reading Epicurus as a personification of Christianity, and Christian sophists in particular. In light of the speech's program of alignment with the emperor Julian's re…
Pagan Altars and Monarchic Discourse in Libanius Declamation 22
In Libanius' Declamation 22 the orator Demosthenes pleads for the removal of the Altar of Mercy. This article contextualizes the declamation in Libanius' later career, and argues that it consciously expresses his contemporary religious concerns and promotes the ideal Roman emperor as the steward of traditional religion
