Reviews

The main argument of this detailed archaeological study is that the Christianization of Baetica happened faster and deeper than generally admitted within the immediate 75 years after Constantine's Edict of Toleration, 313 CE (25) (...) S nchez Velasco makes a cogent case for a rapid and sometimes violent Christian displacement of traditional Roman civic religion in the archaeological record. - Norman Underwood, New York University, *Bulletin for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies*, Vol. 43, 2018
