Whether the conversion of Emperor Constantine was a positive or negative thing depends on your perspective.But for Constantine's support and patronage, as well as the ensuing persecution of the pagan temples, Christianity might well have remained a minor religion in the Roman Empire. So, from a Christian perspective, it was very much a positive thing, leading to Constantine being labelled Constantine the Great.For pagans, it was a negative thing. Constantine began the long persecution of the pagans, the looting and destruction of the temples and eventually the forced conversion to Christianity.Even for the secular empire, it was probably a negative thing, because Constantine embarked on an ambitious program of building magnificent churches across the empire, thereby contributing to the demand for higher taxes on the middle classes, who, according to Edward Gibbon, were sometimes forced to sell their daughters into prostitution in order to meet these impositions.
What religion did Constantine help spread?
