Three comments:
(a) Gentile means non-Jewish, not non-Judeo-Christian. Although
Saint Paul commands that among Christians there be no distinction of
Jew and Gentile, there was an early split between Christian Jews who
tried to adhere to the Ritual Law and those who did not. The
term 'gentile' should be universally replaced by 'pagan' in the
posting.
I have attempted to send comment (a) above to the IndianCivilization
group.
(b) Is this bloody story really relevant to this list? (I admit that
the story of Caedwalla strayed beyond its scope.)
(c) Or are you looking for comments on accuracy? I must say the
story of Julian the Apostate being assassinated surprised me; Gibbon
makes no mention of his hero being murdered.
