Christianity spread in the Roman Empire because of how much they were persecuted. This may sound weird, but it meant that there were only real Christians, no one who wasnt one claimed to be one. This kept Christianity nice and healthy, unlike another time when you were forced by the Church to be Christian, and this was when Christianity went off tracks for awhile.

Also, people were amazed that Christians would give up their lives so horribly for their God and so the Romans started to think that if they would give up their lives for this 'god' then there must be something real in this faith.

How did the division of the Roman Empire make it easy for people to invade it?

The Empire was divided to make it easier to govern and defend. In a pre-mechanical transport age, the distances were too great so it was divided to enable better response times. The real weakening resulted from allowing the Goths to enter and settle on the borders to add their forces to help deter and defend against others. The Goths became increasingly dominant.


Did the Romans ever throw any Christians to the lions?

AnswerChristian tradition tells us that Nero was the first emperor to throw Christians to the lions, however this is unlikely to be true.There may well have been instances when Christians were thrown to the lions and, if so, this would more likely have been during the Great Persecution of Emperor Diocletian, which began in 303 CE and lasted until 305 in the West, but continued until 311 in the East. Edward Gibbon ('The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire'), discussing the problems in sorting fact from legend, says, "The scanty and suspicious materials of ecclesiastical history seldom enable us to dispel the dark cloud that hangs over the first age of the church."


What is a middleware and what is its role?

Middleware is software that acts as an intermediary layer between different applications, services, or systems, facilitating communication and data management. Its primary role is to enable interoperability and integration by handling data exchange, transaction management, and service orchestration, while abstracting the complexities of the underlying systems. This allows developers to focus on application logic without worrying about the intricacies of network protocols or data formats. Middleware can also enhance scalability, security, and performance in distributed computing environments.


How have fire hydrants changed history?

Fire hydrantFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search Fire hydrant in Charlottesville, Virginia, USAA fire hydrant (also known colloquially as a fire plug in the United States or as a johnny pump in New York City, because the firemen of the late 1800s were called Johnnies[citation needed]), is an active fire protection measure, and a source of water provided in most urban, suburban and rural areas with municipal water service to enable firefighters to tap into the municipal water supply to assist in extinguishing a fire. Buildings near a hydrant may qualify for an insurance discount since firefighters should be able to more rapidly extinguish a fire on the insured property.The concept of fire plugs dates to at least the 1600s. This was a time when firefighters responding to a call would dig down to the wooden water mains and hastily bore a hole to secure water to fight fires. The water would fill the hole creating a temporary well, and be transported from the well to the fire via bucket brigades or, later, via hand pumped fire engines. The holes were then plugged with stoppers, normally redwood, which over time came to be known as fire plugs. The location of the plug would often be recorded or marked so that it could be reused in future fires. This is the source of the colloquial term fire plug still used for fire hydrants today. After the Great Fire of London in 1666, the city installed water mains with holes drilled at intervals, equipped with risers, allowing an access point to the wooden fire plugs from street level. [1][2]It has been claimed that Birdsill Holly invented the fire hydrant, but his 1869 design was preceded by many other patents for fire hydrants, and a number of these earlier designs were produced and successfully marketed. Numerous wooden cased fire hydrant designs existed prior to the development of the familiar cast iron hydrant. Although the development of the first above ground hydrant in the USA traces back to Philadelphia in 1803[3], underground fire hydrants - common in parts of Europe and Asia - have existed since the 1700s.


When were watches invented?

It was in the late 1800's by Philippe Matek.Patek Philippe invented the wristwatch in 1868. Pocket watches are even older; they were invented in 1510 by German locksmith Peter Henlein.The first mechanical alarm clock was invented by Levi Hutchins of Concord, New Hampshire, in 1787.In 1801, Eli Terry was granted a patent on an equation clock. This was the first patent for a clock mechanism that was ever granted by the United States Patent Office.A clock is an instrument used to indicate, keep, and co-ordinate time.The earliest clock was sundial along with water clock which were widely used in ancient age.The bowl-shaped outflow is the simplest form of a water clock and is known to have existed in Babylon and in Egypt around the 16th century BC.This is the earliest example of clock.Not until somewhat recently (that is, in terms of human history) did people find a need for knowing the time of day. As best we know, 5000 to 6000 years ago great civilizations in the Middle East and North Africa began to make clocks to augment their calendars. With their attendant bureaucracies, formal religions, and other burgeoning societal activities, these cultures apparently found a need to organize their time more efficiently. The clock is one of the oldest human inventions to enable us to judge how long a process has run. As the seasons and the phases of the moon can be used to measure the passage of longer periods of time, shorter processes had to be used to measure off hours and minutes. The word 'clock' comes from the French word "cloche" meaning bell. The Latin for bell is glocio, the Saxon is clugga and the German is glocke. The first mechanical alarm clock was invented by Levi Hutchins of Concord, New Hampshire, in 1787. However, historical records reveal that approximately 5000 to 6000 years ago great civilizations in the Middle East and North Africa began to make clocks to enhance their calendars. These cultures found that they needed to organize their time more efficiently. Originally candles and sticks of incense that burn down at approximate predictable speeds were used as to estimate the passage of time. Other methods were sundials and hourglasses. The development of electronics in the twentieth century led to clocks with no clockwork parts at all. Time in these cases is measured in several ways, such as by the vibration of a tuning fork or the behaviour of quartz crystals. Now mechanical clocks have since come to be largely powered by batteries, removing the need for winding.The oldest type of clock is a sundial clock, also called a sun clock. They were first used around 3,500 B.C. (about 5,500 years ago). Sundials use the sun to tell the time. The shadow of the sun points to a number on a circular disk that shows you the time.There are many types of clocks. The first would have the sun dial. If you put a stick in the ground, when the shadow is the shortest, that is local apparent noon. That is the time that the sun is the highest point that it will be all day.1547+peoples should be together always oh and+telly tubies:0
