Summary/Abstract: Our study primarily refers to the organization of Roman Dacia and presents the evolution of the Romanian institutions in this province. The approach is followed by a comparison with the spirituality of the Greco-Roman world and by the presentation of the similarities that are established between the two above-mentioned worlds. All these represented a premise of the spread of Christianity. The latter, through the specific spiritual values promoted (egalitarianism, messianism, the ransom sacrifice) proved to be superior to pagan religions and philosophies.
