Julian the Apostate's last battle. The Persian War of 363CE and his mysterious death near Ctesiphon

The final journey that the last pagan Roman Emperor Julian - or Julian the Apostate as Christians called him - made and what we know of his death on the battlefield fighting the Persian army very deep in enemy territory. Julian and the Roman army had reached the walls of Ctesiphon, the Persian capital on the Tigris River and had a good chance of capturing the city. The Emperor was not afraid to personally lead his troops into the thick of the fighting. As Ammianus Marcellinus the 4th-century historian points out, Julian was confident in his ‘consistent good fortune that he often pushed his luck to the verge of rashness’. This personal bravery resulted in his death in mysterious circumstances in heavy fighting as the Roman army moved up the Tigris River. ✅ Subscribe to Flavius Claudius Julianus @FlaviusClaudiusJulianus361 🙏 LIKE TO SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
