罗马帝国晚期异教内部的衰弱--以神庙和献祭仪式为中心

The Internal Decline of Paganism in the Late Roman Empire:Centered on the Temple and the Dedication Ceremony

从公元3世纪开始,罗马帝国异教神庙的修建活动就趋于停滞,新建神庙的规模缩水了,献祭仪式也经历了一个衰弱的过程。异教的衰弱除了受到基督教的强势压迫,也是其自身演变的结果。

Since the 3rd century AD,the construction of pagan temples in the Roman Empire has stagnated,the scale of new temples has shrunk greatly,and the sacrificial rituals of pagan religions have also undergone a process of decline,so the decline of temple may also be due to changes in the ritual.The two seem to be related.The internal evolution of paganism itself determines the destiny of the temple to a certain extent.Therefore,in addition to the strength of Christianity,the decline of paganism is also the result of its own evolution.
