Detailed explanation-1: -In 313 CE, the emperor Constantine issued the Edict of Milan, which granted Christianity-as well as most other religions-legal status.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 380 Emperor Theodosius issued the Edict of Thessalonica, which established Christianity as the official state religion, specifically the faith established by the Council of Nicaea in 325: Theodosius called the Council of Constantinople in 381 to further refine the definition of orthodoxy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Who was Constantine? Constantine made Christianity the main religion of Rome, and created Constantinople, which became the most powerful city in the world. Emperor Constantine (ca A.D. 280– 337) reigned over a major transition in the Roman Empire-and much more.
Detailed explanation-4: -The 4th century is one where major cultural and geographical changes began. In Europe, the Roman Empire was split permanently from east to west, after a new capital was named, and the downfall of the empire in the west began. Christianity was accepted, and a natural disaster devastated a large portion of the continent.
Detailed explanation-5: -Although it is often claimed that Christians were persecuted for their refusal to worship the emperor, general dislike for Christians likely arose from their refusal to worship the gods or take part in sacrifice, which was expected of those living in the Roman Empire.
