For over four thousand years roads have been in existence serving an array of different purposes but there is one road in particular that has greatly impacted the spread of Christianity throughout Eastern Europe. That road is known as the Romans Road and I chose this topic out of an immense interest in knowing more about this grand architectural construction that has stood the test of time. The Romans Road expands over fifty-three thousand miles reaching from Britain to Spain and all the way over to northern tip of Africa. With the implementation of the Roman Roads and now the ability to traverse much of the great European country side the spread of Christianity began is journey across this newfound land. The everlasting importance of the Roman Roads to the spread of Christianity is inseparable because, without the roads many great Christian scholars like Paul would have never been able to get around with a sense of ease planting an array of churches along his way.
One of the main ways that Christianity changed the Roman Empire's social landscape was by providing a new sense of community and belonging to its followers. Before the spread of Christianity, the Roman Empire was made up of many different ethnic and cultural groups, and there was little sense of a shared identity among its citizens. However, with the spread of Christianity, people from all different backgrounds were united under the belief in one God and the teachings of Jesus Christ. This new sense of community and belonging helped to break down social barriers and create a more cohesive society, which in turn had a significant impact on the way that the Roman Empire was organized.
In many societies, ancient and modern, religion has performed a major role in their development, and the Roman Empire was no different. Religion has also became altered over a period of time. From the beginning, Roman religion was polytheistic. However, later on all of their gods would be washed away, and replaced by Christianity. In 313 AD, the Emperor Constantine made Christianity legal and for the first time, meaning people were allowed to openly worship.
Alana Ballentine-Petty 10/9/15 6c History Brokaw How Christianity helped lead to the fall of Rome The problems all started when Constantine the great made Christianity the official religion of Rome. This paper is not just a regular old boring history essay. No not at all, this paper tells a story. A story of how an ancient civilization was destroyed and how the religion of Christianity helped.
Edward Gibbons shed light on this idea when he said “As the happiness of a future life is the great object of religion, we may hear, without surprise or scandal, that the introduction, or at least the abuse, of Christianity had some influence on the decline and fall of the Roman empire”. It also brought people wanting to start charity’s and giving things to people. But this was not what the Romans were use to they were use to being rich and not giving thing away to other people. Although many people come to believe Christianity was not a leading cause but, greed made some people jealous and just wanting
Alizade Nigar Lecture – A “The Roman Empire’s persecution of Christianity was inevitable.” To what extent do you agree with this statement? Throughout the history Romans thought of themselves very religious people and attributed their world power to their good relations with Gods. Conquering an area, then bringing its gods to Rome, the “temple of the whole world,” was an ordinary Roman practice. However, when Christianity emerged similarly what historians call “popular religious,” religious groups with broad and wide appeal.
Constantine the Great is one of the most prominent figures of the ancient world who has dramatically influenced the history of the modern world. Constantine’s triumph of political dominance of his time, led to the success of Christianity rising as the dominant religion in the Roman word, and perhaps the modern world. Constantine was the son of Helena and Constantius. In 289 AD, the western emperor chose Constantius to serve him. Constantius and Galerius were promoted to Caesar and eventually to Augusti.
During the early Pax Romana, Christianity, emerged and it spread rapidly in the Roman Empire. The founder of Christianity was Jesus who used parables with moral lessons to communicate his ideas. Jesus emphasized mercy, sympathy for the poor and helpless, morality, forgiveness, and service to others. Christianity eventually became the official religion of Rome because of its unifying force and the fact that it appealed to all classes in society. The humble, poor and oppressed found comfort in his message of love, equality, human dignity, and promise for a better life.
Even though Christians were persecuted on and off during the Roman Empire, Christianity flourished. In the early Roman Empire, when Claudius, Nero, Domitian, and Trajan were emperors, Christianity was banned and Christians were persecuted. Nevertheless, Christians found ways to spread Christianity, and many people converted. As trials occurred and the Empire lost good leaders, the people took security in Christianity and other religions. Christianity grew during the Roman Empire because Constantine helped create the Edict of Milan, Constantine had imperial favor toward The Church, and there was trade routes to spread Christianity to different areas.
1. The prehistoric diet primarily consists of plants with some meat sporadically mixed in, it is truly only the food that could be hunted and gathered from the surrounding environment. Even hunting at this point was still a point of learning how to obtain food. At this point in time food was merely a means for survival, there were no known strong cultural, social, or religious ties to particular foods. The prehistoric diet culminated in the formation of social groups as it required organization to hunt larger animals.
