Many historians hail him as a good emperor because of his positive contributions to the Church. Before Constantine's reign the church was underground and was hardly recognized as a legitimate religion, in fact Christians were recognized as cannibals (because of the ordinance of the Lord's supper) or atheists because they didn't believe in Paganism. Christianity started off small, it was an offshoot of Judaism, but it slowly became bigger and bigger and when Constantine came to power it was the second biggest religion in the Roman empire. Christianity became so popular, even Constantine himself converted making the religion the religion of the state. This made Christianity very popular, suddenly high class people and the wealthy started converting,
Even though the Visigoths lived in relative harmony with the Romans for many years, the arrival of the Huns toward the end of the 4th A.D. cause serious political turmoil up through the mid- 5th century, when Attila rallied a campaign through Hungary. And, although Attila the Hun died only years into his crusade, it is important that one does not underestimate the affect his conquest had on the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. He never travelled very far into the empire, and there is no proof that suggests he ever made it to Rome. And so, because Attila started his campaign through Hungary, moving on to the outskirts of the Roman Empire, he pushed the Germanic tribes deep into the Roman provinces, creating a rebellion that resulted in the sacking of many cities by the Vandals, Franks and Visigoths, including
Rome has had many leaders, from triumphant hero’s to tyrants without mercy, but the one thing that all these leaders had in common is that in some way they had shaped or influenced Rome. Whether it be very small unnoticeable change to their city, or an act so monumental that it changed how the world would think soon after. Of coarse I am referring to Constantine the great. No other Roman king had such a massive influence on Rome or the world. Constantine the great was known for converting to Christianity and making Christianity into Romes national religion.
Pope Leo III never really was powerful in the Roman Empire compared to previous popes. The pope and Charlemagne had a reciprocal relationship. By crowning Charlemagne, the pope is getting the Romans protection and Charlemagne is getting legitimacy. During his ruling, Charlemagne reestablished the Roman Empire by looking about 500 years in the past when the empire was ruled under Constantine.
His rigorously critical attitude towards modernism and liberalism brought his a lot of trouble and misunderstanding. However, when the Liberalism and Naturalism were so prosperous in his era, the whole Christianity needed a leading legend to protest against Christianity from falling too far from the Bible and traditional orthodoxy

Rome was a city that inspired people in more ways that not. " Rome fell but its legacy lived on." After the Eastern Roman Empire fell in 1453 A.D., people wanted to mimic their legacies because it gave them dignity and nobility. A legacy is "the mark that that you leave that you're remembered for."
Which Roman Legacy Has Had The Greatest Impact On Today's Society? Many parts of today's society have been affected by the legacy of Rome. More importantly, today's laws and philosophies have been influenced by Ancient Rome. Roman law, citizenship, and philosophies have affected the way we live today.
Like Saint Augustine in the sixth century, Pope Gregory VII tried to reform the church in the eleventh century. During his first synod in 1074 C.E., Gregory " decreed that no one could be admitted to orders without a vow of celibacy and that the laity was forbidden to attend the services of an unchaste priest, deacon, or subdeacon. " This statement stemmed from the pope 's ability of his plenitudo potestatis or fullness of power. The pope would have this authority, because the position of the pope marks a lineage that is supposed to lead back to St. Peter, who the Christian religion was built on. If an individual did not follow Gregory 's decrees, they would receive escalating punishments.
irst Century, Peter, the first pope, and the apostles that Jesus chose were, for the most part, married men. Second and Third Century, The Roman Catholic church took on the feeling that a person cannot be married and be perfect. However, most priests were married. Fourth Century, 306-Council of Elvira, Spain, decree #43: a priest who sleeps with his wife the night before Mass will lose his job.
Desiderius Erasmus, a priest of Dutch origin, is often claimed to be the first and most influential Christian humanist, whose works sought to reform the then-corrupt Church of Rome (Erasmus 21). In particular, his In Praise of Folly and The Militant Christian were extremely persuasive works that sought to reform the views of Christians in regards to their faith and the means by which they practiced their religion. Erasmus took on a sarcastic tone in his Praise of Folly, as he claimed that folly, which is the natural and innocuous foolishness of human nature that was generally looked down upon during the Middle Ages, was crucial to the human spirit and man’s faith in God. In fact, Erasmus claims that Jesus himself was a fool in sacrificing
Constantine the Great Constantine I was born in 280 in Naissus, Moesia. His father became the Western Roman emperor in 305. After his father's death Constantine fought to take power. He became the Western emperor in 312 and the sole Roman emperor in 324. Constantine was also the first emperor to convert to Christianity.
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.
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.
