RT Book T1 A companion to Julian the Apostate T2 Brill's companions to the Byzantine world JF Brill's companions to the Byzantine world A2 Rebenich, Stefan 1961- A2 Wiemer, Hans-Ulrich 1961- LA English PP Leiden Boston PB Brill YR 2020 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1679409255 AB "Few Roman emperors enjoy such fame as Flavius Claudius Iulianus - although he was sole ruler of the Roman Empire for only eighteen months (361-363). Since his early death he has been known as Julian the Apostate - the nephew of Constantine the Great who in vain tried to reverse the transformation of the Imperium Romanum into a Christian Empire. This companion synthesizes research on Julian conducted in many languages over the last decades and develops new perspectives. The authors scrutinize the voluminous and variegated sources for Julian's life and rule and reflect on the perceptions of modern research. Since Julian is the subject of scholarly discussion in various fields, this companion offers an interdisciplinary dialogue in which experts from many countries participate. Contributors are Bruno Bleckmann, Scott Bradbury, Peter Heather, Arnaldo Marcone, Neil McLynn, Hans-Günther Nesselrath, Stefan Rebenich, Christoph Riedweg, Sebastian Schmidt-Hofner, Peter van Nuffelen, Konrad Vössing, Hans-Ulrich Wiemer."-- NO Conference on "Julian der Abtrünnige - Stand und Perspektiven der internationalen Forschung" held at the Historisches Kolleg in Munich in April 2015 (Preface) CN DG317 SN 9789004414563 K1 Julian : Emperor of Rome : 331-363 K1 Julian : Emperor of Rome : 331-363 : Influence K1 Emperors : Rome : Biography K1 Rome : History : Julian, 361-363 K1 Konferenzschrift : 04.2015 : München DO 10.1163/9789004416314_002
