The mainstream of Christianity was made state religion not by one emperor, but by three co-emperors who signed the Edict of Thessalonica in 380: Gratian, Theodosius I and Valentinian II. It only made Latin and Greek Christianity (later they came to be called Catholic and Orthodox respectively) state religion. It decreed that they formed the only legitimate religion of the empire. The purpose of the decree was to ban other versions and sects of Christianity (particularly Arian Christianity which was popular around the empire). These Christian sects were branded as heretic and were soon persecuted.
In Constantinople there was a forum which Theodosius I redeveloped and renamed after himself. It had a triumphal arch which mimicked the triumphal arches of Rome. It had three arches and on the top of the central and higher arch there was a statue of Theodosius I with his two children at his sides. This forum also had a column in honour to Theodosius I which must have been similar to Trajan's Column and the Column of Marcus Aurelius in Rome.
