Christianity & the Roman Empire

Christian success in the Roman Empire was a polytheist culture before Christianity. There are many gods and goddesses worshiped for various reasons. Even small communities within the Roman Empire recognized their own gods and more popular gods and goddesses. Over time the Emperor of Rome was immediately included in polytheism worship. Julius Caesar claims to be the god of the sun, descendants of Venus. Caesar was so popular that the idea of ​​worshiping the emperor occurred after his death.

Late Ancient Christianity followed Christianity in the days of the Christian Roman Empire from the emperor Constantine's Christianity (see page 313) to the end of the Western Roman Empire (about 476 years). The transition to the second era of the Roman era occurs gradually and occurs in different regions at different times, so the end date of this period will be different. In general, late ancient Christianity is thought to go back to the reconquest of the late 6th century and the Byzantine Empire's Justinian (527-565 rule), but the more traditional end date was 476 years , Odore has been abolished. Romulus Augustus, traditionally considered the last Western Emperor

Emperor Constantine (born in the year AD 280, ruled from 312 to 37 years) combined Christianity, Roman law and Greek culture, Christianizing the Roman Empire. He founded Constantinople (now Istanbul) in Byzantine in the city of Rome. Under governance he slowly unified the Roman Empire and announced a policy of forgiveness for Christians Christians was brutally repressed under the rule of former Roman Emperor Diocletian and Galerius. Constantin I was Ricinius (ruler 306-324) and ruled and was the only ruler (governed by the AD 324-337). He took office after the victory of the civil war in Rome and he regarded himself as the successor of the "good emperor" of the 2nd century. However, he dominated the tyrant, developed around his magnificent opportunity, spent a large amount of money on military campaigns and monuments.

After the victory of the Christian emperor Constantine in the civil war between the four points (306 - 324), Christianization of the Roman Empire began. Within a few months, the Nisea First Council (the world's first Christian Council) confirmed the status as the general diocese of Aeria (Jerusalem). Usually this city has been renamed Jerusalem. Theodosius I declared Christianity as a national religion of the empire in 380 and Palestine became a part of the eastern Roman Empire ("Byzantine") (until the year AD 395), after the Roman Empire split in the east and the west It was not completed)
