The ancient Romans believed that only proper polytheistic worship
could maintain the "pax Romana," or "Roman Peace." In the first
century A.D., a splinter sect of Judaism began to crack this wall,
bringing upheaval, persecution, and conversion into the lives of
Romans, Jews, Christians, and pagans. This exciting volume explores
the emergence of Christianity in rome during the first four
centuries of the Greco-Roman empire, from the first followers of
Jesus Christ, to conflicts between Christians and Jewish kings
under Roman occupation, to the torture of Christian followers,
Diocletian's reforms, and Constantine's eventual conversion to
monotheism, which cemented Christianity's status as the official
religion of Rome. Supplemented by photos, primary document
excerpts, biographies of key figures, a glossary, an annotated
bibliography and an index, this volume is an ideal reference source
for students and general readers alike.
