What was a major goal of Julian's reforms?

  • Expand the empire

  • Increase taxes

  • Restore ancient values

  • Promote Christianity

Answer

Restoring ancient values was a central objective of Julian's reforms, aiming to recapture the perceived moral superiority and cultural glory of the Roman Empire's past. He promoted traditional Roman ethical, religious, and cultural practices, sought to revive Greco-Roman religious practices, and opposed Christianity's growing influence, attempting to reverse what he saw as its corrupting influence on Roman society.
