Omschrijving

The Emperor Julian's Orations To The Sovereign Sun And To The Mother Of The Gods is a collection of two speeches delivered by the Roman Emperor Julian, also known as Julian the Apostate, in the 4th century CE. The first oration is addressed to the Sun, which Julian viewed as the supreme deity of the Roman pantheon. In it, he praises the Sun for its power and beauty and argues that it is the source of all life and goodness. The second oration is addressed to the Mother of the Gods, a goddess worshipped in Asia Minor who was associated with fertility and motherhood. In this speech, Julian praises the goddess and calls for her protection and aid in his reign as emperor. The book provides insight into Julian's religious beliefs and the role of religion in the Roman Empire. It also sheds light on the complex relationship between Christianity and paganism during this period in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
