You will have to be more specific about the time you are asking about as Rome had at least two official state religions. One was pantheism and the other Christianity. Pantheism consisted of the worship of multi-gods while Christianity was monotheistic, the worship of only one god.

Which religion was dominant at the end of the Roman Empire?
Great Question!Christianity was legalized in the Roman Empire, and was made the official state religion in 380 by Theodosius (the last ruler of the combined Roman Empire). Here's the thing though - that doesn't mean the majority of people followed it.The truth is that many people would have desired to hang on to their religious roots in the "old gods". However, when it was made the state religion it would have become illegal to not be a Christian. From 380 on Rome was the center of Christianity in the west, so by far the most likely answer is that Nicene Christianity was the dominant religion.
Which eventually became the official state religion of the Roman Empire?
The Catholic Church was made the sole legitimate creed (and therefore the state religion) by the Edict of Thessalonica issued in 380 by co-emperors Gratian, Theodosius I and Valentinian II. At that time the Catholic Church was a church which subscribed to the Nicene Creed, a particular interpretation of the trinity and which was opposed to different interpretations by other versions and sects of Christianity. It had two branches, the church of the west (Latin) and the church of the east (Greek). After these two churches split, they came to be called Catholic and Orthodox respectively. The purpose of the edict was to ban other versions and sects of Christianity which were branded as heretic. It also begun their persecution, particularly that of Arian Christianity, which was popular in the empire. The edict also banned paganism.
