To this imperial worship that of the Rome goddess is added, present in the majority of the cities, as well as Hercules and of selected Jupiter like guards by each of the two emperors.

  • Council of Illibéris (Elvire or Alarife, in Andalusia), which issues the celibacy of the priests. He condemns the narrow frequentation of the Jews. The Christian women do not have the right to marry Juifs, unless they did not convert. The Jews do not have the right to accommodate with their table of the Christians, who they are laic or priests, cannot have Christian wives, nor to bless the fields of the Christians (305 - 306).
