In 363 Pagan Emperor Julian was killed in battle in Persia... The army was left leaderless in a foreign country and quickly elected Praetorian Praefect Sallustius as Emperor... However he declined the Purple and the army ultimately elected the commander of the Imperial Guard Jovian as Emperor...
WI Sallustius had accepted the election? He was close to Julian's ideas about christianity... Would he have launched another persecution or would he follow a tolerance policy against Christians?
