• Resumen

  • [...]it would be erroneous to understand Tertullian, for example, as evidence of a pioneer demanding religious liberty for every individual. The liberty given at a certain point of time to a group of people to follow their ancestral cults did not impede the state from limiting liberty when a cult was thought to transgress Roman morality. [...]in the eyes of the Roman legislator, liberty was never absolute. [...]Van Nuffelen discusses the violent events described in late antique sources, setting violence in the wider context in which corporeal punishments were accepted as part of Roman society, especially when executed by superiors in the social hierarchy.
