Others (Rowland Smith, in particular) have argued that Julian's philosophical perspective was nothing unusual for a "cultured" pagan of his time, and, at any rate, that Julian's paganism was not limited to philosophy alone, and that he was deeply devoted to the same gods and goddesses as other pagans of his day.
Kiti (Rowland Smith) teigia, kad Juliano filosofinė perspektyva nėra nieko neįprasta to meto "kultūringui" pagoniui, ir, bet kuriuo atveju, Juliano pagonybė neapsiribojo vien tik filosofija, ir jis buvo giliai atsidavęs tiems patiems dievams ir deivėms kaip ir kiti to meto pagonys.
