They were Christianised, though.

Again....that's the story but what was the reality?

What do you mean? Are you saying the Christians before Theodosius's day had local Inquisitions and heretics were burned at the stake?

Just realised that what I said in Post #181 reads like modern Christians are going in for blood thirsty persecutions. Blush

I suspect none. At least none who would be recognizable as xtians in the 2'd-4th centuries.

I think it's common knowledge that Christianity developed over the centuries. What point are you trying to make here?
