During the withdrawal Julian's forces suffered several attacks from Sassanid forces.In one such engagement on 26 June 363, the indecisive Battle of Samarra,Julian was wounded when the Sassanid army raided his column. In the haste of pursuing the retreating enemy, Julian chose speed rather than caution, taking only his sword and leaving his coat of mail.He received a wound from a spear that reportedly pierced the lower lobe of his liver, the peritoneum and intestines.The wound was not immediately deadly. Julian was treated by his personal physician, who seems to have made every attempt to treat the wound.On the third day a major hemorrhage occurred and the emperor died during the night.

Which roman emperor is considered by many as the last good god?

No Roman emperor was considered the last god. The Romans often deified their emperors after their death, though many were not. The last emperor to be associated with divinity was Julian the Apostate. He was the only pagan emperor after the reign of Constantine the Great. All other emperors were Christians. Julian tried to revive traditional pagan practices, both Roman and non-Roman. Livianus in his epitaph said that many pagans "have set him beside the images of the gods and honour him as they do the gods ... he literally ascended to the gods and received a share of their power from him themselves." However, the next emperor, a Christian, did not deify him.
