This paper aims to analyse the spread of Christianity among the Gothic peoples in Late Antiquity as a privileged space for the renegotiation of cultural categories, with particular attention to the construction of the "feminine". The adoption of Christianity in Germanic contexts did not involve a simple reception of religious models developed in the Judeo-Greco-Roman world, but gave rise to processes of translation, adaptation and transformation that affected gender representations. In this context, the feminine emerges not as a static category, but as a relational one, defined by the interaction between Christian norms, Germanic social structures and power dynamics. Perhaps the most obvious example is that of the female priestly caste, mentioned by Jordanes: the magas mulieres would have been called by the Gothic lexeme haliurunnas, which is not neutral, as it can be translated as wandering spirits of the infernal world and is associated by the Christian author with impure spirits. Furthermore, in a context marked by the coexistence of orthodoxy and heresy, the paper proposes to explore the role of female figures in discourses on doctrinal and community belonging. Starting from recent studies (just for example the one by A. Valerio Eretiche. Donne che riflettono, osano, resistono, Bologna 2022), this paper analyses how the feminine is used as a symbolic indicator of deviation, associating it with the transmission of error, to the extent that a historiographical topos of women as heretics has emerged. Such representations do not reflect pre-existing social reality but actively participate in the production of religious knowledge and the legitimisation of a new type of authority. This contribution shows how the encounter between Christianity and the Gothic world contributes to the semantic and social redefinition of the feminine, revealing the plurality of Christian femininities and their role in the construction of religious identities in Late Antiquity.
