Zusammenfassung
The Letter to the Senate and the People of Athens is a unique document, both from the formal point of view and from the point of view of the content. Conceived as a propaganda document, since in it Julian claimed his legitimacy to occupy the imperial throne, it was built by combining the letter, which allowed him to address an absent community, with the basilikós lógos, the speech of praise to the emperor, which he unfolded in praise of his person and vituperation of the emperor in power, his cousin, Constantius II.
