The people of Aksum embraced Christianity largely due to the influence of King Ezana, who converted to the faith in the early 4th century. His conversion was significant as it marked the first major state conversion to Christianity in Africa, leading to the religion's establishment as the empire's official faith. This transition was further supported by trade connections with Christian regions and missionaries who spread the teachings of Christianity. The adoption of Christianity helped unify the diverse peoples of Aksum and played a crucial role in the empire's cultural and political identity.
The primary means of exchange for Aksum merchants was coins. The Aksum people were one of the first to make their own coins.

While his mother ruled the kingdom, a young Christian man from Syria who had been captured and taken into the court educated him. When Ezana finally became ruler of Aksum, he converted to Christianity and established it as the kingdom's official religion.

Aksum began a long slow decline after the 7th century due partly to Islamic groups contesting trade routes. Eventually Aksum was cut off from its principal markets in Alexandria, Byzantium and Southern Europe and its trade share was captured by Arab traders of the era. The Kingdom of Aksum also quarreled with Islamic groups over religion. Eventually the people of Aksum were forced south and their civilization declined.
