Ancient Rome The Rise And Fall Of An Empire: Constantine 5

Constantine and the Christianisation of the Roman Empire. Beginning with the battle of the Milvian Bridge and ending with the death of Fausta and Licinius, this edition shows how the Emperor Constantine brought Christianity to the western world. In AD 312, Rome was in crisis. The empire had been divided into four parts, each with its own emperor who fought one another. Constantine intervened and united Rome, using military might and a new religion - Christianity.

what bullshit is this? although the actor who plays Constantine is brilliant, this is no true history!! i am Greek and Constantine never worshipped Jesus!! he was baptised on his deathbed!! plus, most of the roman soldiers, especially those who came from eastern territories, had already converted to Christianity and this is why he was forced to change too!!! and since he wanted East, which means basically Greece, and the new testament was first written in greek, then he had no other choice!!!

@leegeorgeson which Christian right? We tolerate them, but we do not accept them.

pagan Babylonian religion found its way to the Roman Empire, and this is how it spread to the modern world?

@Feerulace it doesnt apply any more, "accident of birth" lol give me a break

[BroadwayRonMexico]

@HasMoCarr He was worshiped by the Romans under the name Jupiter/Jove

@17antonios there are many different versions of historical stories neither yours or this one could be entirely correct but Constantine did play a huge part in converting Rome to Christianity

[lapislazuli248]

@HasMoCarr But he was adopted by the Romans as were all Greek gods...

@Deadman1709 : (PART 2) "If we were Christians in Europe during the Middle Ages, we would probably see nothing much wrong with killing witches, torturing heretics, and conquering Jerusalem from the 'infidels' in the Crusades." (John Loftus)

@Deadman1709: (PART 1)Christians, and other people who follow other religions, also follow their own religion because of "accident of birth" as John Hick mentioned in "An Interpretation of Religion" and also stated in "Why I Became an Atheist" by John Loftus. For example, if babies are born in the Middle East, there is a big chance the baby will grow up to be a Muslim. If born in India, the baby will grow up to be a Hindu. It also depends on the year people were born.
