Abstract

This paper intend to present a new perspective on one of the most intriguing questions concerning the work Aurelius Victor wrote in the end of Constantius II’s reign: the silence about the Christian religion adopted by the reigning dynasty. By stressing some elements linked to paganism, Aurelius Victor asserted the relevance of a “pagan” social memory that would distinguish his narrative, therefore revealing an identitary dimension.
