Why didn normal Romans revolt when Christianity was made the official state religion?
The reason they did not revolt was that when Christianity took the lead the Empire was already destroyed. Only the East – Byzantium survived and Constantine converted to Christianity so the way was open. In the West Rome had been invaded by the Visigoths under the leadership of Alaric who did not care which God was adored. Christianity spread to the West through Byzantium under the leadership of the Emperor Justinian who saw it a good way to unify the conquered territories.It became the State Religion around 400 A.D.
