Aristocracia, cristianismo y epigrafía laica en la Hispania tardoantigua

Abstract

At the end of the 4^th century and early 5^th century A.D. the Roman aristocracy was Christianized after a long and discontinuous process that not only transformed Roman society, but also the Church itself. Christianity became aristocratic and adjusted itself to the necessities and customs of the social elites. Epigraphy, as a usual means of expression of the aristocracy, played an important role in this process.
