If they were still pagans the Empire might have survived til today. You know those silly christians and their cheek-turning non-sense! Juno (or Hera for you Greeks) would've protected you but no, you chose a god that never listens to prayers. /endtroll

Poor Valens, it seems like he did great things, but i'll always remember him as the one who got his ass kicked (and died) by the Goths in the battle of Adrianople.

Did Constantine really liked the idea of implementing Christianity as the official religion of his empire ? Or he was just forced to do so because of fear from the great number of Christian in his kingdom?

who wouldnt like the religion after meeting a miracle in his sleep
