1945年，赫伯特·布洛赫在奥斯蒂亚发表了一篇题词，记录了在四世纪末修复一座大殿的过程，并暗示这预示着西罗马帝国最后一次异教徒的复兴。现在，社会历史学家在很大程度上对这一论点提出了异议，但奥斯汀证据的细节仍然没有受到质疑。本文论证了大力神铭文，布洛赫将其归因于奥斯蒂亚的所谓大力神神庙(1.15.5)，更可能记录了曾经装饰着大力士劳动的浴池建筑群的修复。鉴于现在已知的传统宗教习俗的持续存在，这座晚期古城的特点是，无论是浴室的修复还是寺庙的修复，都不需要承担宗教复兴主义的负担。有证据表明，四世纪奥斯蒂亚的城市形象仍然不明显的传统，即使基督教在该镇获得了更明显的存在。
In 1945, Herbert Bloch published an inscription from Ostia recording the restoration of a cellam Herc[ulis] in the late fourth century and suggested that it heralded the last pagan revival in the western Roman empire. Social historians now largely dispute this thesis, yet the details of the Ostian evidence remain unchallenged. This article demonstrates that the Hercules inscription, which Bloch attributed to the so-called Temple of Hercules (1.15.5) at Ostia, more probably records the restoration of a bath complex once decorated with the labors of Hercules. Given the persistence of traditional religious practices now known to have characterized the Late Antique city, neither the restoration of the baths nor the temple need bear the weight of religious revivalism. Evidence suggests that the urban image of fourth-century Ostia remained inconspicuously traditional, even as Christianity gained a more visible presence in the town.
