Only if you take a very broad view. Modern Christianity can probably be traced from the Council of Nicaea (from which the Nicene Creed takes its name) in 325 AD.

However (a) this was a meeting of existing Christian bishops, so could not really be said to be "creating" anything new, and (b) Niceae is in modern day Turkey part of what would later by the Byzantine empire - only by some stretch could you call it Roman (although it was sometimes referred to as the Eastern Roman Empire, but only after 330 AD - 5 years after the Council met).

So the better answer is probably "no".

Modern Christianity probably split from other monotheistic beliefs shortly after the death of Christ. What separates Christians from other montheists is the belief in the divinity of Christ.
