Julian arrives in the days following the occupation, and immediately sets to work building a Citadel-Palace on the eastern side of northern tip of the Pharos Island, overlooking the harbour. The Citadel of Julian will take decades to complete in its full scale of ambition, but Julian hopes to move in to some preliminary palace structures within the next few years.
Julian makes it clear that he supports the Coptic Pope's position on Christology and on the supremacy of the three Petrine Sees, abandoning his previous Latin Orthodoxy.
Efforts are made to foster friendships with the Jewish community, including being seen publically reading the Septuagint, the definitive Old Testament compiled in seventy-two identical copies by sevety-two Jewish scholars working separately. It is clear that Julian intends to make himself at home in Egypt.
