Christianity was born in c.30AD in Judea (modern day Israel) on the eastern edge of Rome's empire. Therefore, the first Christians were at least Roman subjects, if not citizens (like the Apostle Paul). The Christian religion began to spread across the Roman Empire, and faced persecution from the reign of Nero (c.AD64) onwards due to their strict monotheism which prevented them from worshipping the emperor and roman gods. It should be noted that the romans allowed religious freedom as long as their subjects also worship the emperor and the roman deities alongside their local gods, which was not much of a problem for the polytheistic civilisations of Europe and North Africa.
Things would change in the year 312 when one of the roman emperors (there were more than one at this point because the empire had been split into a 4 parts with 4 emperors) Constantine claimed to have seen a vision from the Christian God: a sign of the Cross which said "With this sign you would conquer" before going into battle against a rival emperor at Milvian bridge. Constantine's subsequent victory would later be ascribed to this alleged miracle. It would also push Constantine to first began tolerating Christianity (313 Edict of Milan, which allowed the now large christian church to freely preach and proselytize) and then becoming one himself on his deathbed. Christianity continued to spread and gain influence in Roman society until it became the official state religion of the Roman Empire in 380.
