Theodosius I was the emperor who spread Christianity. He was the emperor who made it mandatory for everyone under his rule to be a Christian. This happened in 380 AD. Up to this time other religions were tolerated.

Emperor Domitian became suspicious on reports of Christians meeting in private houses, instead of in temples like upright people. And they were Greeks, who were always under suspicion of political plotting. Then the Jews expelled Christians who had been the Nazorean Sect of Judaism, and all this brought about suppression orders from the emperor.
