The Gladiator games of ancient Rome began their decline through the influence of Roman Emperor Constantine I. Constantine was the first Roman Emperor to freely allow Christianity. Following his apparent conversion (and it is debatable whether his conversion was genuine or politically motivated), he removed penalties for professing Christianity, under which many were martyred in previous persecutions of Christians, such as in the gladiatorial arena. In AD 325, Constantine I issued an edict which stated:
"in times in which peace and peace relating to domestic affairs prevail, bloody demonstrations displease us. Therefore we order that there may be no more gladiator combats. Those, who were condemned to become gladiators for their crimes, are to work from now on in the mines. Thus they pay for their crimes, without having to pour their blood." While ladiatorial games were actually revived some three years later, their popularity continued to decline. Emperor Theodosius declared Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire in AD 393, and while gladiator shows continued, their programmes were very limited due to financial reasons and the audience dwindled as many converted to Christianity. It was Honorius, Theodosius' son, who finally decreed the end of gladiatorial contests in 399 AD. The last known gladiator competition in the city of Rome occurred on January 1, 404 AD.
