Emperor Julian the Apostate (b. 331/332, d. 363) is an emblematic figure of late antiquity since it was under his rule (361-363) that a last attempt was made to revive paganism in the Christian age inaugurated by Emperor Constantine. The aim of my research is to study Julian's oeuvre, the religious debates of the fourth century and late antique intellectual history in general, with important consequences also for our time.    

Emperor Julian the Apostate (b. 331/332, d. 363) is an emblematic figure of late antiquity since it was under his rule (361-363) when a last attempt was made to revive paganism in the Christian age inaugurated by Emperor Constantine. The conflict of paganism and Christianity, and their relation in general has been in the focus of the interest of subsequent generations, including not only researchers but also artists, theologians and philosophers. Julian's Hungarian reception has been an unduly neglected field and in my project I have undertaken to make a thorough survey of it.
