    Explanation: The last pagan Emperor of Rome, Julian the Apostate, a gud boi and PRIMVS INTER PARES, was killed by some Arab skirmisher in the employ of the P*rsian menace, all because he was in such a hurry to support his men that he failed to put his armor on. While it’s unlikely that Julian could have, all by his lonesome, reversed the tide of Christianity, I think it’s fair to say that the big pagan reformer getting merked before he could fully implement his reforms was at least a moderate boon to Christians.

    SIT TIBI TERRA LEVIS, IMPERATOR! You live forever in our hearts!

      Thanks for the detail! Also, is “Persian” considered a slur or is otherwise inflammatory…?

        Oh no, sorry, just a joke - all non-Romans who are, thus, by definition, ‘barbarians’, are sometimes censored as ‘dirty’ words for a laugh.

          All good, I get it now (I think). I love dense humor, but you’re operating several layers deeper than me! Go with God…
