拜占庭皇帝朱利安复兴多神教的原因析论

A Reason Analysis of the Byzantine Emperor Julian’s Religious Policies on Reviving Polytheism

拜占庭帝国君士坦丁大帝及其子君士坦提乌斯二世均支持基督教发展。公元361年,信仰多神教的朱利安即位,实施打压基督教、扶植多神教的新宗教政策。结合时代背景考虑,除信仰多神教以外,朱利安皇帝此举可能带有缓解财政压力、促进文化发展、恢复罗马帝国昔日荣光等目的。

Constantine the Great and Constantius Ⅱ both supported the development of Christianity in Byzantine Empire.But in A.D.361,Julian who believed in Polytheism took the throne and led a religious reformation to revive Polytheism and weaken Christianity.Combining the era backgrounds,except to believe in Polytheism,the move of the Emperor Julian may have some aims as follows: alleviating financial pressure,promoting cultural development and reappearing the glory of the Roman Empire in the past and so on.
