Footnote 1 – Julian the Apostate and His Plan to Rebuild the Jerusalem Temple

Although Julian consistently uses the term “Hellene” when writing about himself and those he regards as followers of his religion, “pagan” is at least as appropriate and was not necessarily used pejoratively in antiquity. See Pierre Chuvin, A Chronicle of the Last Pagans (Cambridge: Harvard Univ. Press, 1990), pp. 7–9.
