Summary: | The religious transformations that lead from the polytheistic system prevailing in the Roman Empire to the predominance of Christian monotheism are very complex, badly documented, and therefore not easily identifiable. In the Iberian Peninsula we can observe a sudden decline of the traditional religious practice from the 3rd century, and its disappearance in the 4th. It concerns not only the vanishing of the votive epigraphic practice, but it is attested also by the archaeological confirmation of the abandonment of many urban temples and the absence of restorations. These symptoms are clear enough to assume that the religious practices attested during the first and the second century have disappear giving way to a deep transformation. The aim of this paper is to explain the change in the religious paradigm that took place in Hispania which is not the result of the irruption of Christian monotheism, but the structural changes happened at that time. |
