Abstract
En este trabajo1, estudiamos la legislación de Constancio II en relación con los cultos tradicionales. En un principio, esta no fue muy diferente de la promulgada por su padre Constantino I y su hermano Constante, caracterizándose por ser ambigua y no muy radical; su intención era probablemente eliminar tan solo los sacrificios realizados para conocer el futuro (como los nocturnos), un tipo de sacrificios vetados también por emperadores anteriores. No obstante, más tarde (en el 356), Constancio II endureció su política y probablemente prohibió por vez primera los cultos tradicionales por completo, aunque esta interdicción seguramente duró poco tiempo, tal vez un año, cuando este soberano decidió derogarla tras su visita a Roma en el 357
