Their structure and dimension confirm the evolution of the baptismal rite which took place during this age: passing from adult baptism to the baptism of the very young. At about this same period the first "martyria", that is, religious buildings located close to the churches or within monastic enclosures, were erected. The most original part of this study deals with the "martyria-baptisteries", buildings which serve a double function as commemorative chapels and places for the administration of baptism.
