Rise of Christianity:
As it grew, even some Roman Leaders embraced Christianity
AD: 313 Constantine has a battlefield conversion
He issues the Edict of Milan
Not only no persecution, but actual approval of Christianity, eventually making it the official religion of Rome
The Roman Empire and Christianity are now linked in power and influence

The Changing World of Rome
"Instead of dying, the Mediterranean Civilization of Greece and Rome began to spread among many still-barbarian northern peoples, until it became the christian Europe of the Middle Ages."

Christianity and the empire formed a partnership
barbarian attacks began to weaken and demolish the empire
