Constantine and Christianity

    Today in class we continued to talk about Christianity and we touched on Constantine. Some of my notes are below: Conversion of Constantine (AD 312) Roman emperor Constantine has a vision before the Battle at Milivian Bridge he sees an image in the sky of a cross and the words Ev ToUTw Nika ("In this sign, conquer") Orders troops to put a cross on shields they win Edict of Milan in AD 313 Christianity becomes a religion which is recognized/approved by the emperor it continues to gain strength By 380, it becomes the empire's official religion Chi-Rho: first two letters of "Christ" in Greek  Decline of the Roman Empire While Christianity strengthened, Rome weakened  Military: too week to defend huge area Economy: taxes too high; widening gap between rich and poor; trade disrupted Social: Who cares about public affairs?; disloyalty; population decreases Political: division of the empire (Constantine moved the capital to Byzantium)
