Architecture The Coloseum Romans marveled at the shows at the Coloseum Spectators watched the slaughter of exotic animals gladiators battling to the death, and mock navy battles

An architectural marvel The Colosseum was a architectural marvel, its floor was about the size of a modern day football field. As many as 50,000 spectators could crown onto the Colosseum marble and wooden benches. They were protected from the sun by giant canvas covers.

Spread of Christianity

Fundamental Political Changes Accession of Diocletian to the throne in A.D. 284. Roles of consul, tribune, senate lost any remaining significance, and were practically abolished. 292, Diocletian created a Tetrarchy : A co-Augustus in the West; Two lesser rulers (Caesars) Each emperor ruled in his own territory defending the frontiers suppressing revolts

Christian relationship with Early Roman Empire Missionary Component St Paul of Tarsus traveled throughout Mediterranean bringing converts to Christian Community Appealed to lower classes, women, urban populations Sizeable Christian population by 300 CE Problem…Refused to honor Roman deities or recognize Emperor as having an element of divinity Sporadic campaigns by Empire to persecute & eliminate Christians

Emperor Constantine Ruled 306 to 337 ruled the ‘Western Empire’ proclaimed emperor by the legions of Gaul Battle of the Milvian Bridge Ended the civil wars of the Tetrarchy 323 Constantine became sole Emperor of the whole Roman world

Constantine’s Conversion Vision in battle -Constantine had soldiers wear crucifix symbol into battle 313 - Edict of Milan granted by Constantine religious freedom throughout the Roman Empire restitution of property confiscated from Christians. Constantine's profession of Christianity deprived it of much of its independence used the church as an instrument of imperial policy imposed upon the church his imperial ideology
