Julian was the last emperor of the Roman Empire to follow what religion?
Christianity
Judaism
Paganism
Islam
Answer
Paganism, the religion of Julian, was the traditional polytheistic belief system of ancient Rome that venerated a multitude of gods and goddesses. However, Christianity had gained significant influence during the Roman Empire, and Julian's attempt to restore Paganism faced strong opposition from the growing Christian population and the Christianized Roman elite. His efforts ultimately failed, and Christianity became the dominant religion of the Roman Empire after his death.
