The Romans converted to Christianity because the emperor Constantine had a dream the day before a battle and saw the holy cross. The next day Rome won the battle. Constantine therefore turned Christianity into Rome's official religion. The conversion to Christianity wasn't because Rome was coming to an end but simply because it spread so far and Constantine had that dream.
