Abstract
...I decided that Twitter might have a receptive audience for a subsidiary account devoted to sharing quotations from Julian’s writings, which I created in April 2021 and dubbed “Emperor Julian Quote of the Day” (@QuotesByJulian). Every day (or whenever I remember to do it), I produce an original translation of a passage that can be fit into a 280-character tweet. The hypothesis for this experiment is that Julian’s works, while intended to be read in full and not as collections of aphorisms like Marcus’ Meditations, could nevertheless be mined for quotations that could more or less stand on their own, even as gnomic sententiae.
