The Roman Empire converted all its subjects to Christianity.
Roman Emperor Constantine I (306-337) gave the proto-Catholic-Orthodox Christian sect his patronage because of the assistance he received from Christian soldiers to defeat his rival for supremacy in Rome. He saw Christianity as a potential force for unity in the empire, and gave Christianity his full support. This support made membership of the Christian Church socially and politically desirable for some, thus leading to the surge in Church membership that enabled Christianity to become the state religion later in the fourth century.
Emperor Theodosius I made Christianity the official state religion of Rome in the 380, and worship at pagan temples was outlawed in 391. The Christian church , with state support, destroyed, pillaged or expropriated pagan temples.
Within decades, the entire population of the Roman Empire was Christian.

Why did Emperor Constantine convert to Christianity?
There is no firm evidence that Constantine was ever a Christian. He claimed to convert after seeing a vision, in 312 when he was fighting for the right to be the sole emperor of Rome. This 'conversion' ensured the loyalty of the increasing number of Christians in his army and contributed to his victory over his rival. Whether or not Constantine's conversion was genuine, he owed a debt of gratitude and took an active interest in Church affairs. In 325, he called the important Christian Council of Nicaea, which he personally chaired. Some claim that Constantine finally accepted Christianity on his death bed.
