Gillian Clark,E. Gillian Clark, Christianity and Roman Society, Cambridge University Press, 2004 p. 113: "pagans were not tried and executed for their insistence on sacrificing or for their refusal to worship the Christian god. The laws forbidding traditional religious practice are vague about 'divine and human penalties', and even the heavy fines prescribed for officials are not known to have been imposed in the fourth and fifth centuries. [...] and the story that Justinian closed the Academy of Plato is as much a misrepresantation as the story that Julian forbade Christians to teach or to be taught.".

Julian's training in Christianity influenced his ideas concerning the revival and organisation of the old religion, shaping it into a more coherent body of doctrine, ritual and liturgy with a hierarchy under the supervision of the emperor.: "FLAVIUS CLAUDIUS JULIANUS", Karl Hoeber, Catholic Encyclopedia 1910, retrieved 13 May 2007.[2] Julian organised elaborate rituals and attempted to set forth a clarified philosophy of Neo-Platonism that might unite all pagans.(Ammianus Res Gestae 22.12)
