Hellenic Restoration of Rome question

How possible would it for a Hellenic leader to completely restore Hellenic paganism post Constantine's reign and before the fall of Rome?

And if so, would we see this paganism drawing heavily from Christian laws and values (Like with India's adoption of many British policies after colonialism), or would it more likely restore the pre Christian laws in Rome?

Sorry if this is a badly worded question, I'm just trying to figure out how a Hellenic restoration would look when Christianities been ruling for over 100 years.
 
Killing a lot of animals its not the smartest idea and dont accepting peace offer from Persian in one he is one gains victory is also not the smartest idea to bad doe i kinda like Julian
 
This. Read about Julian's attempted restoration and why it failed. Ignore the parts about Christian opposition. Pay special attention to why the non-Christians resisted his efforts. Fixing this is nontrivial.
I don't even know if you have to "fix it". Give Julian a long reign (like after a successful war with Persia), and I am pretty sure his reforms would start to stick. He only ruled a few years as Augustus iotl. He was young, competent, and after a victory over Persia (likely leading to a puppet on the Persian Throne), he would have enormous prestige and legitimacy, and the loyalty of the western and eastern armies. Christian sects would continue to bicker because of his policy of religious tolerance, all the while losing influence among the elites now that they were barred from teaching and administration positions. His reforms would likely start to stick after a few more years, and with a few decades of his rule, I see no reason why his new version of the pagan religion can't take off.

I really do think people right off Julian's efforts too easily, forgetting that he had only a few years at the top. I mean if Augustus had only reigned 3-4 years, I doubt we would be talking about him like we do today.

Some of his ideas are good but i dont think he could win so much over Persia if he accepted peace that was offer to him 2nd time he would gain loyalty of army(mostly pagans)Now when it comes banning christian from teaching positions i dont there would be a way to efficiently implement that i think he would be better of if he banned them from teaching that every thing that classical Greek thinkers or other pagans believed is wrong (i think that was reason he tried to push for that ban)is better
