The Fall of the Roman Empire — Quiz

Question 6 • World History

Why was Constantine’s conversion to Christianity significant?

Answer
A
His conversion meant that Christians would no longer be persecuted.
B
His conversion moved the Roman Empire toward pacifism.
C
His conversion signaled that Christianity was the official religion of the empire.
D
His conversion marked the beginning of the persecution of other religions.

Explanation

Constantine’s conversion was significant because it brought imperial support and protection to Christians, helping end the era of official persecution. Christianity did not become the empire’s official religion until later, under Theodosius I, so A is not correct. Constantine’s conversion also did not make the empire pacifist.
