Christianity became the state religion of Rome in the 380s CE, and the practice of paganism was officially banned in 391. However, the ban was not uniformly enforced at first, and the ancient Roman faith survived well into the fifth century, under increasing persecution.

In 313 Emperor Constantine declared Christianity as a legal religion in Rome. In 391 Emperor Theodosius declared Christianity the state religion in the Roman Empire. Of course not everybody stopped worshipping the old gods at once, but this was the start of the decline of Roman mythological gods.
