RHETORICAL APPROACH OF FLAVIUS CLAUDIUS JULIAN'S LETTERS

Abstract

This study examines the rhetorical practice of two rhetorical letters(Letter to Themistius the philosopher and Letter to the Senate and the People of Athens) written by Flavius Claudius Julian the emperor. Its purpose is to describe the way that Julian organizes the texts' coherence and intertextuality and draw conclusions about the text, the context of the letters and Julian’s political character.
