What was the ancient romans most significant contribution to europe?
I would say religion was the ancient Romans' most significant contribution to Europe. Christianity developed from a religion among a small group of Jews (who lived in Judea, which was part of the Roman Empire) into a mass religion in the Roman days. It spread around the Roman Empire. It became state religion. Catholic Christianity and Orthodox Christianity developed during the Later Roman Empire. They were originally called Latin or Western Christianity and Greek or Eastern Christianity respectively. The former was the main form of Christianity in the western part of the Roman Empire and the latter was the main form of Christianity in the eastern part of the Roman Empire.
What were the historical origins of Christianity and how did that effect the development of monotheism in the Roman empire?
Christianity originated in the 1st century CE within the Jewish community in Judea, rooted in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, who was seen as the Messiah by his followers. As it spread throughout the Roman Empire, Christianity’s emphasis on monotheism and the belief in a single, personal God challenged the polytheistic traditions of Roman religion. This shift contributed to the gradual decline of pagan practices and the eventual establishment of Christianity as a dominant faith, influencing the development of monotheism in the empire and leading to significant theological and cultural transformations. The Edict of Milan in 313 CE further solidified Christianity's status, paving the way for it to become the official religion of the Roman Empire.
