Abstract
Two papyrus documents from the time of the Great Persecution - an official document relating to the confiscation of church property and a private letter from a man to his wife - show how Christians were coping with the imperial measures by small acts of resistance. These mundane texts thus nuance our understanding of this formative period for ancient Christianity.
