Summary

A distinctive common feature of the measures against heretics and apostates in the 4th century AD is that their rights regarding successions are being curtailed or even removed. How was that done and is here a general policy visible? And what was the purpose behind these measures? Was it merely the wish of relatives to keep assets in the family as Riedlberger suggests, or was it to prevent that these sects became affluent, or perhaps was there a theological dimension to it? Since the essential texts derive from the Theodosian Code, this collection of imperial constitutions is discussed as well.

公元四世纪帝国对异端的限制继承政策，附狄奥多西法典

概括

公元4 世纪针对异教徒和叛教者的措施的一个显着共同特征是，他们的继承权正在被削减甚至取消。这是如何做到的，这里是一项可见的一般政策吗？这些措施背后的目的是什么？正如 Riedlberger 所暗示的那样，这仅仅是亲戚希望将资产保留在家族中，还是为了防止这些教派变得富裕，或者它可能具有神学意义？由于基本文本源自 Theodosian Code，因此也讨论了这套帝国宪法。
