What role did the Roman empire play in the movement of Christianity throughout the ancient Mediterranean world?
A key role Roman Empire had in the spread/movement throughout the ancient Mediterranean world was the fact that the Roman Empire was the Mediterranean world at the time of early Christianity. The Romans had conquered the whole of the Mediterranean region. It was almost inevitable that Christianity, which started in Judea, which was on the Mediterranean shore and was part of the Roman Empire, would spread through the Mediterranean region, which was the Roman Empire. The Apostles travelled around the eastern Mediterranean and Italy to spread the gospel and convert peoples to Christianity. Paul made Christianity a religion which was accessible to the gentiles (the non-Jews) of the Roman Empire. Prior to this the Christians were Jews who preached the word of Christ in Judea to fellow Jews and and still followed the Jewish law. Paul said that to be a Christian you needed to have faith in Christ and follow his teachings. You did not have to follow Jewish law and therefore you did not have to be a Jew. The Christians in the Roman Empire developed a number of churches with their own clergy and their own different theologies. Two churches became the mainstream Christianity of the Roman Empire: Western or Latin Christianity and Eastern or Greek Christianity. The former was the main form of Christianity in the western part of the Roman Empire and the latter the main form in the eastern part. Later they came to be called Catholic and Orthodox respectively. Constantine the Great favoured Christianity. He built the first major Christian churches, promoted Christians in the imperial bureaucracy and tried to meditate between rival Christian doctrines. All but one of the next Romans emperors where Christians. The co-emperors Theodosius I and Gratian issued the Edict of Thessalonica in 380. This made Latin/western Christianity and Greek/ Eastern Christianity the sole legitimate religion of the Roman Empire. It also banned dissident Christian doctrines which were branded heretic. Theodosius I started persecuting them soon afterwards. Theodosius I also persecuted Roman religion and all other pagan religions from 381. He reiterated Constantine's ban on former customs of Roman religion, established capital punishment for divination (which was a centrepiece of Roman and pagan religions) and pioneered the criminalisation of officials who did not enforce laws against paganism. With further laws he eliminated the remnants of Roman religion by tuning its holidays into working days, banning blood sacrifices (another centrepiece of Roman religion) and disbanding the very important priesthood of the Vestal Virgins and closing Roman temples. Theodosius I ordered the destruction of pagan temples, shrines and statues
