Resumo
Bishop Tascius Caecílius Ciprianus was
absent twice from the territory of the city of
Carthage, located in North Africa: during the
persecution implemented by Emperor
Decius (249-251) and during the persecution
promoted by Emperor Valerianus (257-258).
Only in this last period, which ended in
martyrdom and death of the Bishop, did
Ciprianus be officially exiled after Editus
promulgated on August 30, 257. The
previous absence was due to self-exile
promoted by decision of the Bishop himself.
His rise to the bishopric had been very
controversial and his absence from
headquarters also led to numerous criticisms
and internal problems in his community. In
these absences, Ciprianus drew up many of
his treaties and several letters, seeking to
guide his community of converts, even
though he was at physical distance from
them. In this article, we propose to analyze
letters dedicated to deacons, elders and/or to
the Carthaginian Christian community in
general, prepared during their first absence
from headquarters. Through them, we
perceive the debates and the clashes, which
marked the daily lives of these North African
Christian communities, since the episcopal
mobility ended up causing the emergence of
several conflicts
