Cristianismo bajo Septimio Severo y Caracalla

Contrariamente a lo afirmado por la tradición cristiana, a Septimio Severo y a Caracalla no podemos considerarles perseguidores de los cristianos. Durante sus reinados se produjeron persecuciones locales, al negarse los cristianos a participar en celebraciones religiosas relacionadas con el culto imperial. Dichas persecuciones tienen un carácter exclusivamente local, y son fruto de la actuación puntual de las administraciones provinciales, sin estar refrendadas por un edicto imperial. La actitud de los emperadores hacia las comunidades cristianas asentadas en el Imperio fue tolerante y abierta, incluso los propios cristianos evitaban enfrentamientos directos con la autoridad imperial con motivo de las celebraciones públicas.
