Rulers

Christianity had its beginning and early growth during the time of imperial rule in Rome.

See Table

Jesus was born during the rule of Rome's first emperor (Augustus) and his followers endured various levels of persecution during the reigns of many of the subsequent rulers. It wasn't until the early 4th Century under emperor Constantine the Great that Christianity became widely accepted by the governing state.

On these pages we present information about the Roman Emperors from Augustus to Constantine, along with some insights into the nature of what life was like as a Christian during the reigns of these men.
