| − | '''Flavius Claudius Julianus''', '''Julian the Apostate''', or '''Julian''' (332-363), was [[Roman Emperor]] from 360-363. While rising to prominence under [[Constantius]], son of [[Constantine]], who enlisted him as Caesar in the West in 355, Julian showed himself to be an outstanding military general. When Constantius ordered him to send troops for a war against Persia in 360, Julian protested and then his men refused to go and proclaimed him Emperor. Julian then marched against Constantius, who was preparing to meet him when he died along the way in 361. Julian became sole Emperor. | + | '''Julian the Apostate''', or '''Julian''' ''(full name: Imperator Caesar Flavius Claudius Julianus Augustus)'' (332-363), was [[Roman Emperor]] from 360-363.
