<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1318170, member: 26302&quot;]No pic, (its me, hey), but I might go with Julian II. Well, I kind of have to, I named my son after him. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, he wasn&#039;t able to push back the Christian tide, but tried. I don&#039;t have a problem with Christianity, (I am quaker, and love all religious history), but loathe the history they destroyed. Julian is much more of a &quot;what if&quot; emperor. What if he didn&#039;t die and was able to defeat the Sassanids and restore the tolerance for all religions. What if Rome was able to incorparate the Persian state and not have to waste so much energy and treasure on such constant wars? What if he preserved the philosophy schools and prevented the mass burnings of all non-christian writings? Great promise, all cut short by an early death.</p><p><br /></p><p>In truth, he was probably 20 years too late to turn the tides, but I believe most historians wish he could of, and possibly we would still have the millions of books lost to the fires of both Christian and Islamic zealots over the centuries. I am not saying I wish to worship the pantheon of Gods, I wish to be a quaker yet have access to all of this knowledge now lost.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. here is MY Julian. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]149302.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
