Nice post, thank you. But note that Constantius II was Julian's cousin who *murdered* Julian's father as well his some of his brothers and a bunch of his other relatives. He kept Julian and his half-brother Gallus alive because they were too young and the time and not considered a threat. Julian lived his life under a cloud of wondering whether Constantius II would eventually execute him too, and he did eventually execute Gallus. Constantius II and Julian had just begun a civil war when Constantius II suddenly died....
