Mainstream Christianity (Western or Latin Christianity and Eastern or Greek Christianity) became state religion of the Roman with the Edict of Thessalonica by co-emperors Gratian, Theodosius I and Valentinian II in 380.Mainstream Christianity was made the sole legitimate religions of the empire. The purpose of the edict was to ban the other (minority) Christian doctrines, which were branded as heretic. Their persecution started soon after the issuing of the edict. The main target was Arian Christianity, which was popular around the empire. Latin or Western Christianity was the mainstream religion of the western part of the Roman Empire and Greek or Eastern Christianity was the mainstream religion of the eastern part of the Roman Empire.
