Julian the Apostate's last battle. The Persian War of 363CE and his mysterious death near Ctesiphon
The final journey that the last pagan Roman Emperor Julian - or Julian the Apostate as Christians called him - made and what we know of his death on the battlefield fighting the Persian army very deep in enemy territory.
