The Romans did not try to stop the spread of Christianity. There were alternations between periods of toleration and periods of persecution. Some Roman emperors thought that Christianity was a threat to the Roman state because many bureaucrats and soldiers converted to Christianity. The Romans saw their state as being interlinked with Roman Religion. The persecutions were aimed mainly at the civil service and the Christian clergy, rather than Christianity as such. The last and worse persecution, the Great Persecution, failed because it was difficult to implement, because of the resistance of the Christians and because it undermined the stability of the empire. After that, the emperors endorsed Christianity, favored it over other religions and promoted it. Eventually, Christianity became the state religion of the empire. With imperial support, the spread of Christianity accelerated.

What did Romans call England?
Britannia . It was first brought to the attention of the Roman people by the campaigns of Julius Caesar in 55 and 54 BC, but was not proven to be an island until the early eighties A.D., when the governor Gnaeus Julius Agricola sent an exploratory naval expedition around the north coast of Scotland
How did the roman empire in Greece fall?
It's happened over and over through out history. There has been a lot of talk recently of the United States making the same mistakes as Romans, Spanish and German empires. What happened in each of these empires is they became such huge world powers and started to take over so many territories and so much land that they spread their forces too thin. Other countries/empires noticed the spread of the forces and attacked the weakened or depleted units. For example the Germans, during Hitler's reign, were so powerful and advanced that they controlled most of the European continent. They then decided to try and move in towards the Asian countries. When they invaded Russia their troops were so depleted and unprepared for the elements that the Russians were able to over take them and the trend started to follow throughout Europe. The same happened to the Romans. When the Romans had control over most of modern day Europe, other empires teamed up and attacked and were able to sack Rome. This person ^^^^ She/he's asking about ancient GREECE! Romans lived in Rome which was in ITALY, and btw they also died out because their main water pipes that went into homes and fountains was made of lead, so most of the population fell sick and died of lead pisoning.

What things did the Romans give us?
1.Made Hadrian's Wall for defence.2. Brought new and tropical foods.3. Made Baths for leisure.4. Brought actually sane Kings.5. Made straight, smooth roads.Sewage, aqueducts viticulture.....Answer 2Technologies the Romans helped contributed to include indoor plumbing and the dome. They also perfected the technology for the arch.Think of language as one of the most important contributions of the Romans. French, Spanish, Romanian, Portuguese and Italian are called Romance languages due to their origins in Latin. Many English words also have Latin origins such as prefixes and suffixes--manual, pedal, territory, homicide, eject and Amanda are all words that have a Latin origin and those a just a couple.Latin is also the language of the Catholic Church. It was one of the original languages of Christianity. The vernacular translations of the Bible come from the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Bible.The Roman Republic was an example of a Senatorial system. The Roman Empire united many areas and peoples under one system. There are current roads built over the original roads the Romans made from France to Italy. The Fall of the Roman Empire pushed Europe into the Dark Ages where knowledge was lost. If the Romans had no contribution, then there would not have been the Dark Ages.ANSWERIf I may suggest, do try to watch the movie "The Life of Brian" from the famous Monty Python comedy series. One of the characters in the movie asks the very same question and gets a very funny and comprehensive answer.:) it is a very funny film and it tells you about everything the Romans have ever done for us .
Why did boudica fight against the Romans?
in AD 60, king Prasutagus died. Prasutagus was an allied king living under Roman law. Thinking he would save some of his kingdom for his wife and daughters, in his will, he gave the emperor Nero half of his kingdom and left the other half to his wife and daughters. However what Pratsutagus didn't understand was that women were not allowed to inherit more than 10% from a man under Roman law. When Boudicca went to claim her inheritance, she found that Rome had taken over the entire kingdom leaving her with the minimal. She raved at them, was whipped for it, and her daughters raped as punishment.

When did the Romans try to stop the spread of Christianity?
There were some persecutions of the Christians which h were undertaken by some of the Roman emperors. They were not about stopping the spread of Christianity. The most important persecutions were by Decius and Diocletian. Decius wanted the peoples of the empire to prove their loyalty to the Roman state by requiring them to perform sacrifices to the Roman gods (religion and the state were intertwined for the Romans). The Christians refused to do so because they considered this as a betrayal to their god and because they abhorred sacrifices. As a result they were persecuted. The Diolcetianic persecution was prompted by a Christian criticising a sacrifice about to be performed in the imperial palace. This was considered as offending to the Roman gods. According to Lactantius a Christian writer, Diocletian and his co-emperor, Galerius discussed how to deal with the Christians. Diocletian thought that banning the Christians from the imperial bureaucracy and the army would be enough to appease the gods. Some bureaucrats and some soldiers had converted to Christianity. Galerius, who was described by Lacnatius as a crude thug and an anti-Christian, thought that the Christians were becoming arrogant and called for their extermination. The persecution policy of Diocletian was influenced by Galerius.

The disease spread by fleas being carried around on rats. In the filth and the warmth of the summer heat, the rotting rubbish is a perfect place for bacteria to breed.

When people died from the plauge, they hardley every let anyone see the deceased to try and stop the spread.
