This is Volume 1 of the complete works of Julian, Emperor of Rome (331-363 AD), presented with an English translation by Wilmer Cave Wright. Julian, often known as Julian the Apostate, was a Roman emperor, philosopher, and writer whose reign marked a brief resurgence of paganism within the Roman Empire. His writings offer invaluable insights into the intellectual and religious landscape of the late Roman world.
This collection preserves Julian's essays, letters, and orations, making available his diverse literary output to modern readers. Wright's translation provides accessibility while maintaining fidelity to the original Greek. Students of Roman history, classical literature, and ancient philosophy will find this volume an indispensable resource for understanding a pivotal figure in late antiquity. It remains an important resource for appreciating the complexities of a tumultuous period in Western civilization.
