How did Constantine's policies toward Christianity differ from theodosius?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
Constantine tried to arbitrate the theological disputes between mainstream Christianity and dissident Christian doctrines and to resolve them. He was unsuccessful. Theodosius persecuted the dissident Christian doctrines, particularly Arian Christianity, which was popular around the empire. Together with his co-emperor, Gratian, he issued the Edict of Thessalonica (in 380) which established Latin (or western) Christianity and Greek (or eastern) Christianity, which were the two branches of mainstream Christianity, as the sole legitimate religion of the empire. The purpose of the edict was to ban the dissident Christian doctrines, which were branded as heretic.
Another difference in the religious policies of the two emperors is that Theodosius also persecuted pagan religions. Constantine did not. He even promoted the pagan cult of Sol Invictus (Unconquered Sun), a Roman deity.
