Christianity faced periods of persecution. However, it was later endorsed by the emperors, which supported it and persecuted paganism. Christianity became the state religion of the empire. In fact, Christianity developed in the Roman Empire. Two main forms developed: Latin or Western Christianity, which was the main form of Christianity in the western part of the empire and Greek or Eastern Christianity, which was the main form of Christianity in the eastern part of the empire. Later they came to be called Catholic and orthodox respectively.
Romans society took on the creed and values of Christianity. Early Christianity took on Roman and Greek symbols, art and terminology.
