I vescovi di Roma si presero cura dei propri fedeli attraverso la predicazione e l’amministrazione dei Sacramenti, una solerte attività caritativa, assicurando la custodia fidei et disciplinae, che tra IV-VI secolo si espresse come consapevolezza di dover espletare una cura ecclesiae universalis, con conseguenze rilevanti nel rap- porto tra il vescovo di Roma e l’aristocrazia romana, nonché tra Roma, la penisola italica e Costantinopoli, dopo la scomparsa di un imperatore della pars Occidentis. Ad alcuni di questi ambiti di attività ho dedicato qualche riferimento, dopo aver mostrato come fosse centrale in tutto questo periodo l’acquisizione e il manteni- mento di un luogo di culto, da difendere e proteggere contro gli adversarii di fede.

Abstract
The bishops of Rome took care of their faithful through preaching and the administration of the sacraments, a diligent charitable activity, ensuring the custo- dia fidei et disciplinae, which between the fourth and sixth century was expressed as an awareness to provide a cura ecclesiae universalis, with significant consequences in the relationship between the Bishop of Rome and the Roman aristocracy, as well as between Rome, the Italic peninsula and Constantinople, after the disappea- rance of an emperor of the pars Occidentis. I have devoted a few references to some of these areas of activity, after showing how central throughout this period was the acquisition and maintenance of a place of worship, to be defended and protected against adversarii of faith.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
