Sinner or Savior: Unraveling the Enigma of Yazdgird I


Resumen


En este artículo se reexaminan las pruebas de la persecución contra los Yazdgird I, cuyo tratamiento de los cristianos supuestamente empeoró durante su reinado. La comparación de las fuentes de la historiografía permite poner en duda la realidad de la persecución. Se argumenta que existen dos narrativas contrapuestas. La de la persecución se origina probablemente en el Imperio Romano, pero es menos creíble. Por lo tanto, la aparición de estas narrativas debe buscarse en el discurso cris- tiano romano de agresión activa contra los paganos, no en el imperio.
