Originally produced by The Great Courses in 2017.
Paganism in the Empire didn't go down without a fight. Enter Julian the Apostate, who tried to reinstate the Olympian gods. Here, study Chapters 22 to 24, which are devoted to this last dying gasp of paganism - struck down by Julian's death during an ill-advised military campaign, and afterward by pushback from the Christians.
