Advices given by Emperor Constantius to young Julian:

- control your generals !
- never let a general hold a senatorial office, a general sent to a province is the subject of the province's governor
- be ruthless with badpayer cities or villages ,they always complain
- give the benefit of the doubt to all tax collectors, they always get away stealing but if we get the biggest part its ok
- control your generals !

Ma fascineaza fragmentele prin care Iulian desfiinteaza crestinismul, ca de exemplu :

"Predicile morale ale galileanului , desi deseori reproduse incoerent, sunt mai presus de critica.El predica cinstea cumpatarea, bunatatea, un fel de ascetism.
Cu alte cuvinte a fost un rabin evreu foarte obisnuit , cu tendinte fariseice. Intr-un fel, el seamana cu Marcus Aurelius. Comparat cu Platon sau Aristotel , este un copil."

Cea mai decadenta scena ever
Intro sala plina cu bucate pe canapele deopotriva eunuci, legionari din garda personala privesc cum baieti si fete sunt aduse in centru. Eunucii sfasie hainele tinerilor si fiecare isi ia cate o pereche baiat fata pe care incepe sa o mangaie peste tot in timp ce perechea trece la amor.
In tot acest timp maretii legionarii romani privesc spectacolul si beau

Galii se mandresc cu serviciul militar fata de italieni care isi taie degetele mari de la maini sa scape de recrutare
Ar fi niste soldati superbi daca nu ar avea doua defecte: nu se impaca cu disciplina militara si sunt betivi.
In cele mai nepotrivite momente, un comandant gal isi poate gasi soldatii cu mintile pierdute din pricina bauturii, sub pretextul ca cutare zi este sfanta si trebuie marcata cu ceva vin sec.

I wasn't actually prepared for this level of clarity, eloquence and straightforwardness from a boy scared for his life, turned philosospher and then emperor some 1700 years ago. The way the future to be emperor describes all his dialogues and adds his own critical notes (why he said what he said) with friends ans foes , philosophers , students , enunucs and army generals is nothing short of impressive.

Little did i know Christianity copied so much from all other local monotheistic or pagan religions of the empire's provinces just to seem more appealing.
Even core customs like sharing the wine and bread of the Savior is copied from the Cult of the Persan Warrior Mithras or the term of apostoles/fathers is taken from the cult of Zarathustra.

Christianty is the reunion of an entire batch of religions.

The level of lucidity of the young Julian , future to be emperor is outstanding.
Best part is seeing from his own eyes, a boy's eyes, the most important cities of IV century AD , the likes of Constantinopole , Antioch , Nicomedia

Iulian despre Constantin (Cel Mare):

"N-a fost niciodata un adevarat crestin.
A fol crestinismul pt a isi extinde dominatia asupra lumii. A fost un soldat profesionist,prost crescut , neinteresat de filosofie, desi avea un gust pervers pentru disputele doctrinare care ii produceau o satisfactie enorma." Certurile nebunesti ale episcopilor il fascinau.
