This research examines the material evidence for early Christian groups during the first two centuries C.E., highlighting the presence of Christian inscriptions and the complexities surrounding their interpretation. The findings indicate that communities, such as Montanists in Temenothyrae, existed well before the turn of the century, although direct evidence from regions where Christianity originated remains scarce. The paper challenges claims regarding the oldest Christian structures, pointing to significant discrepancies in archaeological interpretations and the timeline of church development.

As in previous chapters of the book special attention is given to epigraphic and archaeological evidence and one or more cities from the region are highlighted: here, Rome (Peter Lampe) and Ravenna (Robin Jensen).
