What building project of Julian's was likely meant to undermine Christianity?
Third Temple
New Senate House
Great Library
Colosseum 2.0
Answer
The Third Temple, Julian's ambitious building project, was likely intended to undermine Christianity by restoring polytheistic practices and asserting the continuation of the Roman Empire's traditional religious heritage. By reconstructing the Temple in Jerusalem, Julian aimed to challenge the early Christians' claim that the destruction of the Second Temple signified the triumph of Christianity and the obsolescence of Jewish rituals.
