Alypius of Antioch

From TheBestLinks.com

Alypius of Antioch was a geographer of the 4th century who was sent by the emperor Julian into Britain as first prefect.

Alypius was afterwards commissioned to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem as part of Julian's systematic attempt to reverse the Christianization of the Roman Empire by restoring pagan and, in this case, Jewish practices. Among the letters of Julian are two (29 and 30) addressed to Alypius; one inviting him to Rome, the other thanking him for a geographical treatise, which no longer exists.
