Abstract

This study investigates on the basis of the Neo-Platonist Philosopher’s, Emperor Julian’s letter-fragment (89a & 89b, 363 AC) the relationship of virtues between a priest and a king or “imperator” of the Roman Empire. This letter can be considered as a manifestation of Julian’s political and religious reform, which is based on Neo-Platonic and Christian idea. This theory relates to traditional polytheistic religion, in which the principal virtues are piety, philanthropy and utility.
