Answer

Ruling for only two years, Julian served as Roman emperor from 361 to 363. His brief reign was marked by attempts to restore traditional Roman values and religious practices, including the revival of paganism. Despite his military successes against the Persians, Julian's efforts to reverse the Christianization of the empire ultimately proved unsuccessful, as he was killed in battle against the Sassanids.
