Rome adopted it, end of.

Missionary zeal pales in comparison to the point of a sword.

Yep, that is all that happened. Rome went from polytheism to monotheism, because of marketing, not magic, not a sky wizard. It didn't happen over night, but that is still all that happened. Nobody with a cosmic magic wand made that happen, humans simply out competed the old group in marketing then the powers saw the trend and saw it as politically useful.
