The Last Pagan is a historical biography written by James Westfall Thompson. The book tells the story of the Roman Emperor Julian, who ruled from 361 to 363 AD. Julian is known as the last pagan emperor of Rome, as he attempted to revive the old pagan religion in a time when Christianity was becoming increasingly dominant.Thompson's book provides a detailed account of Julian's life and reign, from his childhood and education to his military campaigns and eventual ascent to the throne. The author also explores Julian's religious beliefs and his attempts to restore paganism to its former glory, despite the opposition of the Christian church and many of his own advisors.Throughout the book, Thompson draws on a wide range of historical sources to paint a vivid picture of life in the late Roman Empire. He also provides insight into the political and social forces that shaped Julian's reign, including the ongoing struggle between paganism and Christianity.Overall, The Last Pagan is a compelling and informative biography that sheds light on a fascinating period of Roman history and the complex figure of Julian the Apostate. It will appeal to anyone interested in ancient history, religion, or the intersection of politics and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
