Resumo
Among the many topics regarding the emperor
Julian, the subject of his death has caught our
attention. Many authors of the Late Antiquity,
Christians or not, provided many versions about
such event. The sophist Libanius and the ser viceman Ammianus Marcellinus registered rel evant scenes of the Prince's death, wrote their
texts at the same period, were antiochenes and
probably communicated. However, their narra tives about Julian's death differ. Therefore, our
goal is to analyze the many deaths of Emperor
Julian presented in the testimonies of Libanius,
as well as perform the comparison of these re ports with the testimony of Ammianus Marcel linus about the same subject. The comparison
will serve for us to have a better understanding
about the way that the sophist and the service man built a virtuous memory of this Emperor,
turning the death of that Prince into a living
memory. We add that both authors wrote their
texts in Emperor Theodosius I's period. Ergo,
we have a hypothesis that the many versions
about Julian's death are related to events that
permeate the timing of the writing of the death,
thus the authors make the memory alive about
Julian through the many reports about the
mournful event.
