In his Caesars, Julian the Apostate claims that Constantine I had lived the life of a cook and hairdresser without properly explaining what he means by this reference to a cook. It is argued here that he was mocking Constantine's concern that he should not eat foodstuffs dedicated to the gods, and so probably alluding to his ban on blood-sacrifice within the eastern part of his empire.
