Rome officially adopted Christianity as the state religion under Emperor Theodosius I in 380 AD through the Edict of Thessalonica. However, the process of Christianization had been ongoing in the Roman Empire for centuries prior, with Emperor Constantine legalizing Christianity in 313 AD through the Edict of Milan. This gradual acceptance and eventual adoption of Christianity marked a significant shift in Roman religious policy and had lasting impacts on the empire's culture and society.
