Parmenian
Notes and references
Notes The motivation behind Julian's decree was considered, even by his contemporaries, to have been an attempt to undermine the unity of the Christian Church: "He did this the more resolutely because, as long licence increased their dissensions, he thought he should never have to fear the unanimity of the common people, having found by experience that no wild beasts are so hostile to men as Christian sects in general are to one another" (Ammianus Marcellinus, Roman History XXII, 5, 4.) Also see Augustine, Retract.
