Abstract
Commodus’ religious policy shows two
phases that correspond to two different
attitudes both towards traditional religion
and, more generally, to external cults, and
towards Christianity. The breakthrough
matured above all in the last years of his
reign when Commodus made a break
both with the imperial cult through assimilation
to Hercules, which is however
ephemeral, and with the anti-Christian
policy of Marcus which is more fruitful
and lasting in relation to the fate of subsequent
Christianity.
