By the year 400, Christianity was the state religion of the Roman Empire, which spread from Britain across Europe to much of the Near East and North Africa. In theory, all citizens could be expected to be Christians, and those who remained faithful to their ancient beliefs were subject to persecution. In practice, Christianity was still concentrated in the eastern part of the empire, with the distant provinces still strongly influenced by paganism. The ruling classes of Britain were Christian, but much of the population continued to practise Druidism.

How many years between 400BC and 1500AD?

To find the number of years between 400 BC and 1500 AD, we need to calculate the difference between the two dates. First, let's convert 400 BC to BC to AD: 400 BC is equal to 400 years before the start of the AD era. Since the AD era starts at 1 AD, we add 400 years to 1 AD to get: 400 BC + 400 years = 1 AD Now, we can calculate the difference between 1 AD and 1500 AD: 1500 AD - 1 AD = 1499 years So, there are 1499 years between 400 BC and 1500 AD.
