Augustus / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jovian (Latin: Flavius Jovianus Augustus;[lower-alpha 1] Greek: Ἰοβιανός; 331 – 17 February 364) was Roman Emperor from 363 to 364. Upon the death of emperor Julian during his campaign against the Sasanid Empire, Jovian was hastily declared emperor by his soldiers. He sought peace with the Persians on humiliating terms and reestablished Christianity as the state church. His reign lasted only eight months.
