GAOS SCHMIDT, Amparo. La fisión de Roma. Rutilio Namaciano y Egeria, testimonios de la ruptura. Nova tellus [online]. 2006, vol.24, n.1, pp.141-156. ISSN 0185-3058.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.nt.2006.24.1.198.

The inordinate growth of the Roman Empire, among other factors, determined the progressive diversification of the language, religion and customs of the inhabitants of its various provinces. This divergence, one of the motives that resulted in the dismemberment of the Empire, is palpable in Namatianus’ De reditu suo and in Egeria’s Peregrinatio ad Loca Sancta, both written towards the end of the fourth century or beginning of the fifth century CE.
