Abstract

The study of a Roman epigraph can give us a very real image of the Roman life. In fact, the Roman literary texts show us a daily existence presented to the people of this time; a Roman epigraph was made to the present, we know, but, specially, to the future. An example is done to show how is present in the Roman imperial dedicatories, towards the III century, the expression devotus numini maiestatique eius. An expression so impregned of devotion that the Catholic Church had no doubt to adopt it.
