No single emperor converted the Roman Empire to Christianity. Constantine the Great converted to Christianity towards the end of his life. He has favoured the Christians, promoted Christians within the imperial bureaucracy, introduced some laws favourable to the Christians and tried to arbitrate disputed between rival Christians doctrines. At the time of Constantine Christianity was still the religion of a small minority of the population of the empire. All the subsequent emperors but one where Christian. They, too, favoured the Christians. They introduced laws which restricted pagan practices. The emperor Theodosius was the one who did the most to induce conversions to Christianity in the empire. Together with his co-emperor Gratian, he issued the edict of Thessalonica which made mainstream Christianity the sole legitimate religion of the empire and banned dissident Christian doctrines. He also introduced further restrictions on pagan practices, supported the destruction of pagan temples and shrines and the persecution of paganism.
