Making me sad for almost 2 hours on A Friday Flavius 😢 He should have kept to his country rather than chasing his Alexander aspirations. Julian really rocked an awesome beard 🧔🏻♂️
lol Sorry if the video was a bit somber. Julian liked fighting alongside his soldiers and taking the same risks- very admirable quality- but it did expose him to a lot of danger all through the campaign
@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361 don't worry I say it in jest ❤️ excited to watch this to the end, this looks like a doozy of a video. I imagine it took you quite a while to compose such a detailed biography.
I think I would’ve been a Gnostic even in the 1st Century CE or 9th Century Ab Urbe Condita… it would’ve been difficult to convince Julian to take less risks even if I were a Praetorian Prefect or Magister Militum
Christian schisms started fairly early on. If I recall St Augustine correctly, there were nearly 80 major Christian sects - and that's excluding more minor sects around the empire. Each one, of course, considering the other sects to be in grave error over doctrine.
my favorite Roman emperor along with Hadrian. Two pagan and philohellenic souls. Julian in his resistance to the Galilean creed. Hadrian in his policies in Judea in addition to his architectural projects and artistic patronage
@@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361 Yes, except of course when it was Christians to be struck, in which case according to the apologists it was just "within statistical odds". Double-think is way, way older than Orwell suspected.
@@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361 Christians are supposed to be truthful (honest) according to their 10 commandments, that is a weightful sin. Though knowing their God, they can just be forgiven if they confess (or repent 🙄) and no punishment will be given to them. They're almost non-negotiable in very delicate cases which is something to always have in mind.
Extensively plans to travel all the way the the enemy's capital. Gets there and then turns back when he hear the main enemy's army is approaching?? That sounds weird. With only the second army not meeting up with him explaining the turning back. He should have met first with them, (by being in constant/regular contact) before brining the fleet across to the Euphrates... then forcing/having the decisive battle.
It is a mystery why the second force under Procopius and Sabastian along with the Armenians didn’t push forward and I think that would have changed matters completely and Julian would have been far more confident of laying siege to the city
His military disaster was probably far more important than his attempts to revive paganism. In all previous successful campaigns, the Parthian or later Persian army had fought in front of the capital and been beaten. This time, whether by good judgment or good luck, they still had an army in being as he approached the capital, and to take on both was too much.
@@WaffenWitches - Who? The Pope? No way! That was a small clique conspiracy to save Germany from the worst of its defeat. "Some Christians" is not the same as "the Christians", i.e. the organized Church, the fascist party of Constantine the not really great at all.
Being. a philosopher and a warrior, I've always seen him as another Marcus Aurelius.There seems not to have been any great joy amongst the Persian soldiers on hearing his death - only contempt for a traitor - which speaks volumes regaridng the respect they gave the brave man.

@@Wyattinous Must admit did take quite a bit of effort bro! But great feeling to release videos and they get appreciated.
A most fascinating emperor! Been looking for something in-depth about him and here it is!
Thx bro!
Great video, the length was a real treat.. thank you!
No problem. Glad you liked it!
After so many days sir,greetings to you sir and as usual amazing and superb video essay🙏

@@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361😊
I like this pagan military history channel
Thank you! Plenty more coming up. Keep tuning in!
😢No time to watch now but gave it a like because I know this is gonna be good, thank you F C J👍
Nice :) Thanks brother!
Great video!
Cheers!

Can you do an episode of his other reform plans beyond just his anti-christian reforms and planned reforms?.
I’ll put that on the to-do list. Would love to do :)
I'd like to see a review of his satires "The Caesers" and "Misopogon". He was truly a gifted writer
I’ll see if I can fit that in at some point 👍
Would you continue on the northern crusade?
Defo! Going to work on a second video on the Wendish Crusade (capture of Arkona) shortly

Good choices! Hadrian the original traveller!
His last battle reminds me of Rommel's last battle at El Alamein
Sometimes courage and excellence does not always guarantee victory
Honesty on the Persian side and contradictory fantasies on the Christian one, just for a change.
'Divine vengeance' arguments were pretty common in those days!

His death did mean lesser emperors like Jovian and Valens came to the throne leading to the disaster at Adrianople
We truly were robbed by with Julian's death. But as he guessed, if it was the Gods' will then ultimately it was good. Worship of the Gods will return.
He made his mark in the short time he had. Much more than many other longer-lived emperors.
@@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361 The only mark he made was being a fool who died like an idiot.
He was murdered by the always conspiring Christians.
won't be the first or last roman conspiracy.
They too had a major role in July Plot of 1944

No CE. AD. Thank you 😊
It’s the secular and religiously neutral option which is being increasingly used in this day snd age
@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361 religiously neutral is wack....if it ain't broke, don't fix it
He was assisinated. He may have saved the Western Roman Empireso had to be taken out by the church

@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361 not as good as diacletian magnentius or Aurelius but a good man at the wrong time. Usurped Eastern Rome was gone.
@@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361 Do we actually have a source that mentions the Persians demenour or is this conjecture based on other stuff?.
@@AmachiEligweI was referring to their lack of jubilation and calling the Romans traitors for killing a brave leader
@@palacehaunter5442could be argued Julian took unnecessary risks and given the Persian desire for peace perhaps the war should have been avoided
Plese no more AI art. It's awful.
Ha ha sorry could certainly have done better with some images
@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361 Just use total war rome or drawings from artists. Other than that your content is awesome. 💪
363 AD!!!!! AD it has been called "AD" for Thousand Years. Quit this PC nonsense
Just using the religiously neutral and more modern option!!
It doesn't even match Jesus birth. It's a made up date. Cease your cringetianism.
@@usergiodmsilva1983PTDoesn't matter. It still revolves around Jesus's life. Your excuses are weak.
@FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361 Nah you just hate the fact that the era is still the era of Jesus.
The academic use is BCE/CE. AD Is an innacurate nomenclature, and BC is a late anglosaxonic made up term. Deal with it.
Incorrect. BC and AD came first. You guys just hate the fact that the era still revolves around Jesus.
