Julian is a 1964 historical novel by Gore Vidal.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Seventeen years after Julian the Apostate, so-named for his efforts to revive Hellenistic paganism, was slain on the battlefield, Nicene Christianity has become the state religion. His old teacher Libanius bemoans this and proposes to Julian's old friend Priscus that they write a biography using Julian's unfinished memoir.The memoir, with margin notes by Libanius and Priscus, tells Julian's story covering his youth as a royal hostage to his ascension to Caesar and then Emperor. Despite early successes in his reign, Julian's headstrong and superstitious nature begins to affect his decisions, culminating in a disastrous invasion of the Sassanid Empire, and his death.The novel is known for its vivid detail in bringing the Ancient World to life, and especially for its portrayal of Roman society without the Hollywood History typical of most historical recreations. Indeed Vidal spent years researching the life of Julian and famously published a bibliography of reference material at the end of the text to serve as a guide to critics and scholars.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| Julian / int_1029541b | comment |
Book Smart: Julian is a voracious reader, to the extent he can cite the Christian texts better than almost any Christian thinker he meets. Nevertheless, Libanius and Priscus, who do genuinely admire Julian, occasionally cast doubt on Julian's true intelligence, implying that he was really something of an enthusiastic amateur in philosophy and couldn't hold his own against true intellectuals. Not that anyone was going to tell the Emperor of Rome that, of course. | |

| Julian / int_2d4fa515 | comment |
Ax-Crazy: As Caesar in Antioch, Gallus has a habit of stalking the streets and either fantasizing about murdering people or actually murdering them. | |

Ambition Is Evil | |
| Julian / int_9e1e14ea | comment |
Ambition Is Evil: Or at least, Ambition is Deadly. Julian triumphs repeatedly during his Persian campaign and almost gains a settlement with the Persians that would by even Maximus's admission be one of the greatest triumphs a Roman Emperor has won. But Maximus then plays on Julian's ambition to surpass Alexander, no settlement is reached, and Julian dies in Persia. | |
