Abstract

Julian was the last non-christian Roman emperor from 361 to 363. During his reign he prompted many revolutions on religion and politics, and also led the important war against Persian. Researches had done sufficient analysis on the macro level of these fields, and especially in the field of religion. Nevertheless, the research of the effect of many events in the micro level had on Julian’s ruling is still lacking. Based on Ammianus Marcellinus’s work Res Gestae, we used a historical perspective to discuss whether the purges happened during Julian’s political revolution enhanced the imperial control by viewing the role of purges during the process of building the empire’s justice and credibility as well as the legitimacy of Julian as an Augustus.The conclusion shows a rather positive relationship between the purges and Julian’s control over the empire, but also some negative social outcomes caused by the purges which showed the failure of purges on enhancing the imperial control existed in certain region. Moreover, this research is not just for clarifying the relationship between the purges happened during Julian’s reign and the controlling of the whole Rome Empire of this period of time, but can provide a point of view of the general relationship between purges and imperial control.
