The Adherentes Antiquate (Anglish: Old-Fashioned Adherents), were a group of Ebrarian Christians who historically adhered to traditional, pre-Amendant forms of liturgy and theology within the Church of Ebrary after the break with the Orthodox communion and the Ebraricist Reformation. Originally, these Christians followed the practices of Orthodox Christianity closely, and their presence was largely tolerated by the moderate Amendant establishment of the Church of Ebrary so long as they respected the primacy of the Bishop of Ceres. In the 18th century, important scholars of the Adherentes Antiquate authored the Prayer Guide of the Old-Fashioned Adherents, which outlines the liturgy of their movement. However, by the 19th century a majority of Adherentes Antiquate had taken up the practice of iconoclasm and were therefore more closely aligned with the doctrine of the Enlightened Aroman Church. The iconoclastic denomination of the Adherentes Antiquate were generally termed Persistas while those who continued to use icons were termed Eccetistas.

After the disestablishment of the Church of Ebrary, the two factions of the Adherentes Antiquate split off to form the iconoclast (Persista) Orthodox Aroman Church in Ebrary (1939) and the iconodulist (Eccetistas) Ebrarian Orthodox Catholic Church (1940). The formation of these two churches effectively killed the Adherentes Antiquate movement within the Church of Ebrary, although these two successor-churches are sometimes described with the term.
