The general sense is current and much used today in astronomy. Also Perhaps the emperor should go to
Jovian, Roman Emperor or
Jovian (Roman Emperor)?

In the beggining of the article it is stated 17. february 364. Later on, it is said that he died from a wound 26 June 363. I don't know which of those two dates are correct, but that should be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stalker314314 ( talk • contribs) 15:48, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

This article states that Jovian issued an edict "on 11 September subjecting those who worshiped ancestral gods to the death penalty. He extended the same punishment on 23 December to participation in any pagan ceremony (even private ones)" providing a citation from "Vlasis Rassias A history of unconditional love (2005); currently in publication only in Greek, as Μια ιστορία αγάπης." I cannot speak on the credentials of this source, but this claim seems unfounded. I have never read anywhere of Jovian issuing any such laws. Based on this table here (which is based of Coleman-Norton's Roman State and Christian Church) no such laws were issued by Jovian. Unless anyone has access to Pharr's translation of the Theodosian Code or another primary or scholarly source to verify this claim, this sentence should be deleted from the article. --TJYoung93 — Preceding unsigned comment added by TJYoung93 ( talk • contribs) 06:02, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
Do we know if Jovian adhered to the Arian or the Athanasian flavour of Christianity? If we do, it might be worth including. Q·L· 1968 ☿ 04:27, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
Although (or perhaps because) his reign was short, Jovian was the last Emperor to be be the sole Emperor of both West and East for the whole of his reign. But I can't find a citation for this. I'm new to wiki so not sure how to proceed. It's an interesting fact about Jovian, but I don't want to add someting without a source. Any suggestions?

The sentence “he ordered the library to be burned down” is a bit strange to me, because the note next to it states that 3 sources do not mention such a thing. I think it would make more sense to reword it to “he is said to have ordered”. I tried to edit it but apparently you can’t edit articles marked as good, which is why I’m writing this.
