Iuliani imperatoris mors et successio

Iuliani imperatoris mors die 26 Iunii 363 accidit dum in expeditione contra Persas militavit. Milites successorem Iovianum postridie acclamaverunt. De Iuliani morte scriptores varii variatim narrant. Telo vulneratus est, secundum quosdam ab inimico Persa, alios a Romano, nonnullos a milite Christiano qui imperatorem paganum interficere voluit.
