Greetings all,
On this day we commemorate the Emperor Julian entering Constantinople as sole Emperor on December 11th in 361 AD:
As
Caesar of the West he had been victorious against Alemanni invasions in
Gaul and had been proclaimed Augustus by his troops. His uncle the
Emperor Constantius II considered this rebellion and was en-route from
the East with his armies, but fell ill and proclaimed Julian sole
Emperor before he passed. Religious controversies aside, Julian was a
competent administrator and
reformed many court excesses which had existed under the previous
Emperor.
-Marcus Cassius Julianus
