Christianity developed during the Roman Empire when emperor Constantine allowed christians to practice their religion and the church provided leadership and sometimes organized the distribution of food. Christianity spread when it became the known roman empire religion and when they had all the roman catholic churches.
There were several key branches to Christianity post the Resurrection of Christ. In Rome, they eventually changed the Sabbath teaching from the 7th day to the 1st day, agreed to the nature of Jesus by Constantine; the nature of the Godhead by Theodosius (trinity) and established the 'Catholic' branch of Christianity by the end of the 4th Century AD.
Afterwards, they incorporated various pagan practices into the Church via synergies and other modifications. They produced many 'doctrines' of faith and the infallibility of their Pope and established and changed many rules within their hierarchy.
Around AD 30 when the Holy Spirit came on Jesus' disciples at Pentecost, there were many Jews from other countries in Jerusalem for the feast of Pentecost. They heard the gospel from Peter and the other disciples - Acts 2 - and no doubt these people took the gospel back to the countries they came from after Pentecost. Some of these people came from Rome and so the teachings of Christianity were taken to Rome.
Later around AD 40 the Apostle Paul also undertook 3 missionary journeys through parts of the Roman empire. Also other disciples were involved in taking the teachings of Christianity to parts of the Roman Empire and the then known world.
Christianity, sprang up in the corner of the Roman Empire. At first, Christianity was just one of many religions practiced in the empire. but despite many obstacles, the new faith grew rapidly, and by A.D. 395, it had been declared the official religion of the tRoman Empire. It gained strength,when the roman empire fell, the christian church took over much of this role, becoming the central institution of western civilization for nearly 1000 years
Christianity was able to expand easily in the Roman empire because the message could be taken far and wide due to the good roads and safe sea lanes. Remember, Christianity established itself during the Pax Romana, a time of extended peace and prosperity.

From the earliest days of the church, the command to "go and preach the gospel to all nations" was taken very seriously by its followers. The first evangelists were the apostles, but later, other believers went out to distant parts of the known world to preach their new religion. Sometimes, they were met with hostility or skepticism, but gradually, these missionaries were able to make some inroads and start new Christian congregations.
However, in the Holy Roman Empire, Christian evangelists encountered considerable resistance for a long time. In fact, they were often persecuted or driven out. But a turning point occurred during the reign of the Emperor Constantine. By many accounts, once he had decided (for reasons that historians still debate) to protect and favor Christianity, conditions for evangelism were greatly improved. Thanks to Constantine, by the year 313, it was no longer against the law to preach Christian doctrine; and now that the Emperor had given his approval, Christianity was able to spread throughout the Roman empire.

Christianity
The Roman Empire made Christianity the official religion of the Empire, and 'encouraged' the peoples it conquered to convert.
The Romans who remained pagans did not contribute to the spread of Christianity Neither did Julian, who was the only pagan emperor in the Later Roman Empire
Through most of their history the ancient Romans had their own religion: Roman Religion. In the Later Empire Christianity spread in the Roman Empire, was endorsed by the Roman emperors and became state religion.
Christianity was certainly a constant. Christianity was also spread beyond the area of the former western part of the Roman Empire with the conversion of previously pagan peoples.
