Christianity was spread around the Roman Empire by the teachings of the apostles who travelled in the eastern part of the empire, North Africa and Rome to spread the gospels.
The work of Tertullian laid the foundations of Latin or Western Christianity from Carthage in Tunisia. It became the mainstream Christianity of the western part of the Roman Empire. Latin Christianity later came to be called Catholicism.
The foundation of Greek or Eastern Christianity were laid by the theologians of the Catechetical School of Alexandria in Egypt (which according to Jerome, who was a priest, theological and historian of Christianity, was founded by Mark the Apostle) and the School of Antioch in Syria. It became the mainstream Christianity of the eastern part of the Roman Empire. Later it came to be called Orthodox Christianity.
Arius, an ascetic Christian priest in Alexandria of Libyan origin, spread a dissident Christian doctrine which was popular around the empire. It was called Arian Christianity or Arianism and it was the main dissident Christian doctrine. It was suppressed from 380 on when the co-emperors Gratian and Theodosius I decreed that Latin and Greek Christianity were the sole legitimate religion of the Roman Empire in the Edict of Thessalonica of 380. Dissident Christian doctrines were branded as heretic and banned. The persecution of the Arian Christians begun soon after the issuing of this edict.

What geographical factors both helped and limited the spread of Christianity?
The Roman Empire was the geographical factor which first helped the spread of Christianity. It started in Judea, which was part of the Roman Empire. It was spread through this empire, especially its eastern part by Christian preachers. Originally the Christians were Jews who preached other Jews and followed Jewish law. Paul created a theology which opened Christianity to the gentiles (non-Jews) of the Roman Empire. He said that faith in Jesus and following his teaching was what was required for salvation. Therefore, you did not have to be a Jew or follow Jewish law to be a Christian. Christianity was endorsed by all but one of the emperors after Constantine the Great. This helped his spread. The co-emperors Gratian and Theodosius made mainstream Christianity (the Latin/Western Church and the Greek/eastern Church, which later came to be called Catholic and Orthodox respectively) the sole legitimate religion of the empire.
