Question

Description Acceptable. A group of warriors subject to this policy known as the “Forty Warriors” were banished to the middle of a frozen lake in Sebaste. Lactantius exaggerated a policy of this type sometimes dated (15[1])to a conversation between an oracle and a haruspex at Didyma. People subject to a policy of this type could avoid punishment by signing a libelli, certifying they’d performed a sacrifice, and would then become known as (*) lapsi, or “fallen.” Gallienus provided temporary relief from a policy of this type, leading to a “Little Peace” described by Eusebius. Decius used a policy of this type as a loyalty oath. From Serdica, Galerius ended the largest instance of this policy, two years before its targets were granted legal status by the Edict of Milan. For 10 points, give this type of policy undertaken by Diocletian to suppress an Abrahamic religion. ■END■
