Gore Vidal wrote a bionovel, appropriately entitled
Julian (Wikipedia
here). I remember reading it in my pre-committed-to-Christ days; it is probably as accurate as anything else Vidal wrote, IYKWIM.

He is also known as Julian the Philosopher. I have one of his coins—has a bull on the reverse.

Thanks for posting. Probably too obscure for most people, but I LOVE ancient history. Writer Rod Bennnet also has a great chapter on the last of the pagan Roman Emperors, Julian the Apostate, in his great book, “The Apostasy that Wasn’t”.
