"If Christianity is an integral part of Euro-American cultural heritage, so too is Pagan revivalism" : this is the absolute truth, even if some people (on both sides) don't want to admit it.

I slightly disagree with you on one point : I don't think we can call Julian a "revivalist" since he didn't have to try to "revive" anything. Nothing was "dead" yet.

Interesting! I would have thought that, here in Turkey where I live, certain pagan practices (such as fortune-telling) had survived the advent, either of both Christianity and Islam, or of the latter at least to the Turks before their invasion.

Anyway, I see that Wikipedia attributes the Tempio Malatestiano to Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta (1417–1468), not the later Sigismondo Malatesta whom you name
