What roman emperor closed the pagan temples?
The emperor who finally allowed Christianity in Ancient Rome was Emperor Constantine, but he did not close down the pagan temples. It wasn't until he died and his son, Constans, took over the Western portion of the nation that the old forms of Grecco-Roman pagan worship were banned and those who still followed the religion were threatened with the death penalty. It was then that the destruction of old temples began, though it was most by citizens and not by armies under the order of the emperor (though I'm sure he encouraged it, even if he didn't order it). Temples that survived the pillaging and destruction were converted to Christian churches. In 391, Theodosius banned all forms of non-Christian worship (instead of exclusively banning Grecco-Roman polytheism) putting the final nail in the old pagan religion's coffin, so to speak.
