Abstract
The first information about the presence of Christians in Sardinia in the era of Commodus precedes by 20 years the reconstruction of the temple of the “national” God called Sardus Pater. The precociousness of the Christian evidences in Sardinia is confirmed even by the recent excavation of Saint Efisio of Orune. The slow passage from paganism to Christianity with manifestations still linked to the world of magic, idolatry, haruspicy, necromancy, oraculous and divinatory sleep (practices that have continued and inherited until at least the age of the Vandals) has been ascertain since the 4th century and also attested by Fulgentius of Ruspe.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
