Flavius Claudius Julianus, born in May or
June 332 or 331 in Constantinople , was the son of Julius Constantius (consul in
335), half brother of Emperor Constantine I , and his second wife, Basilina,
both Christians. His paternal grandparents were Western Roman Emperor
Constantius Chlorus and his second wife, Flavia Maximiana Theodora . His
maternal grandfather was Julius Julianus, praetorian prefect of the East under
emperor Licinius from 315 to 324 and consul after 325. The name of Julian's
maternal grandmother is unknown.

Flavius Claudius Julianus, known also as
Julian, Julian the Apostate or Julian the Philosopher (331/332 – 26 June 363 ,
Greek :Ιουλιανός), was Roman Emperor (Caesar, November 355 to February 360;
Augustus, February 360 to June 363), last of the Constantinian dynasty . Julian
was a man of "unusually complex character": he was "the military commander, the
theosophist, the social reformer, and the man of letters".Julian was the last
non-Christian ruler of the Roman Empire and it was his desire to bring the
empire back to its ancient Roman values in order to save it from "dissolution".
He purged the top-heavy state bureaucracy and attempted to revive traditional
Roman religious practices at the cost of Christianity

In 363, after a reign of only 19 months as
absolute ruler of the Roman Empire, Julian died in Persia during a campaign
against the Sassanid Empire .
