Page "Constantius II" Paragraph 35

Constantius seems to have had a particular interest in the religious state of the Roman Empire.

As a Christian Roman Emperor, Constantius made a concerted effort to promote Christianity at the expense of Roman polytheism (‘ paganism ’).

As such, over the course of his reign, he issued a number of different edicts designed specifically to carry out this agenda ( see below ).

Constantius also took an active part in attempting to shape the Christian church.
