His entire family had been exterminated. He had been relegated to a distant palace riddled with informers. There were even plans to make him a priest. In short, the gloriously reigning, very Christian Constantius had left no stone unturned to oust Julian from the purple of his ancestors. And now he had become Emperor of Rome! And in the meantime, he had secretly converted to the gods believed to be dead. And then... The dark saga of a dynasty, haunted by cold monsters, double-dealing prelates, secret agents, and careerist philosophers, is recounted here day after day, as closely as possible to the texts. Extraordinarily well-informed, Lucien Jerphagnon combines erudition with a rare talent for evocation. In undertaking this rehabilitation of the Emperor Julian, he has succeeded with this book in creating a model biography.
