Greatest Roman Legacy

The population of Rome was mainly made up of peasants and farmers so when they learned that Jesus was like them it gave them hope of achieving eternal life. Christianity accepts people of all social classes so it spread quickly throughout Rome due to the lower class’s large population. When Constantine embraced Christianity and stopped the persecution of Christians the religion spread like wild fire because Christians could spread God’s word, like Paul, without being

The conditions in the Roman Empire were optimal for the development of what is now a prevalent and well established religion. Many factors were influential in the development of Christianity in Rome, and they all were successful in their own way. From Constantine to Paul, and the people their messages reached throughout the empire, they were all united under one

Christianity also had a prominent impact on the fall of the empire. (Doc 2) The Romans did not like the Christians. They believed in one god, which made it easy for the emperor to turn the Romans against them, by blaming the fall of the empire on them.

Christianity and the Roman Empire shared an important bond. Christianity offered the Roman Empire joy, hope, a shift in their world view, and a monotheistic God. Rome offered Christianity a more efficient way of spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The first way that Roman is different than Christian is because of there believe in gods. While Roman’s had many god they belief in that they believed in and they would sacrifice items to the gods so positive things would happened and if something bad happened than people blame the king or whoever does the sacrifice to the gods. Many gods in the Roman Empire like Juno, Minerva, Jupiter, and many others. While Christian believed in one God and they do not sacrifice things or animals to God. Christian praises their god by praying and going to church.

Rome as we know it was not built in a day. It took years for the vastest empire of its time to become what we know it as today. Rome was an impressive military power and was organized in how they handled their affairs. The success of Rome comes down to a few major factors, such as, the strong leadership of Rome, the way they handled conquered lands as well as technological advancement. These factors can be seen as the foundation of the successes of the Roman Empire and were later taken on by successive empires and countries later on. However, out of all of these factors, one of them played a more crucial role in the success of the Roman Empire.

The Roman Empire was one of the most influential civilizations of all time and they left a mark not only during its reign but also during its decline. Roman architecture styles are still very much in use today as is their government style. However, their fall was what impacted the world the most; this fall is the reason today Christianity has so much influence on western culture and why Europe is separated from the rest of its continent. This fall caused a massive decline in the living standards and the people who had once walked the streets of Rome were left with nearly nothing. They took up farming, like their ancestors long before them and did so in exchange for protection.

The Roman Empire had a significant impact upon Christianity for a number of reasons. Firstly, Christianity originated in the Roman Empire.

As the religion was made up of Roman citizens and was mainly contained within Rome, it was unavoidable that Christianity be affected by events in the Roman Empire.

The message of Jesus Christ was a life changing message and that other religions could not provide.

Creation of law, development of democratic government practices, influences in language, literature, art, infrastructure and city-planning are the areas where the influence of Roman ideas can be seen. Additionally, Roman influences have had considerable importance in the spread of Christianity. However, while it was the Roman Republic that established a four great contributions to the geographical area that would be identified as the west, the Roman Empire was the most important and influential model of an imperial system for Europeans until modern

One reason Christianity affected Rome drastically was during the emperor Nero’s time, when he blamed the christians on a fire he started. Not only were the christians being hated, but hundreds of thousands of christians were killed. Another reason why christianity affected Rome was due to the christians refusing to sacrifice to other gods and not worship the emperor because, “he was not a god, and there is only one god”. Another reason Christians have had a bad effect on rome was due to rumors going around that they are cannibals but misunderstood the fact

Rome once was one of the most powerful political republic, then an empire which existed for quite a long time. Rome was mainly based on Greek culture; they took Greek gods and changed their names nothing more for example: Apollo remains same in both cultures; Artemis and Diana both have the title of the goddess of the hunt.

I plan to go over the things i have listed above and try to even go over things I didn’t even know myself. I hope that this will give knowledge to anyone who ends up reading this paper.
