The political and social changes that occurred with the transformation of the Roman Empire into a Roman Christian Empire called for new literary representations of the ideal Christian leader. In this struggle, the figure of Moses seemed suitable. The portrait of Moses as a political figure became the centre of interest during the 4th century.
