Today in class we took more notes.

Rise of Christianity 


  • Jesus spends 3 years preaching, is killed by Roman leaders 
  • Jesus' followers believed he is the Messiah and savior who has risen from the dead 
  • Saul (the persecutor) becomes Paul (the evangelist) spreading Jesus' message. 
  • AD 313 Constantine has a battlefield 
  • The Roman Empire and Christianity are now linked in power and influence
Rome has problems

  • Food supply is dropping 
  • AD 324- Constantine becomes emperor over both halves of the empire 
  • Moves the capital from Rome to Byzantium (renamed Constantinople) where Asia met Europe (now turkey)
