Augustus Caesar has been an excellent first emperor of Rome throughout history, by having great leadership. Sergio Mattarella recently just became the president of Italy and already has done some amazing things.

They practiced a pagan religion in a dominantly Christian continent. During the 6th century, Pope Gregory sent out missionaries to convert people to Roman Christianity. Augustine, the leader of one of the missionaries, came across the Anglo-Saxon people (The spread of Christianity). Slowly, they began to convert, starting with the Kings, but many people rejected Christianity in the beginning because they only knew their old gods. As people began to accept Christianity, many positives came from Christianity (Conversion of the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity).

The biggest legacy the Roman’s left was the Latin language. The Roman empire included many diverse people, religions and political groups. To accomplish a stable ruling, the Roman Empire used rules and used the Latin language to unify its Empire. The ancient Roman Empire crumbled centuries ago but left a Latin language legacy that exists today.

His thinking on the question of “why God and evil coexist?” is accompanied by his growth and maturity. In 354, Augustine was born in an ordinary family in Rome. “His father was a pagan who converted on his death bed; his mother was Saint Monica, a devout Christian” ("Life of St. Augustine.") Even though the cost of education was very expensive

The government was democratic because the people of the colony elected a governor annually. The governors was elected they were limited to freeman who had been examined for their religious and admitted to their church. The Puritans population was strongly, and its governance was dominated by a small group of leaders who was strongly influenced by Puritan religious leaders. The democratic government was treating everyone the same when dealing with laws and taxes. No matter who anyone was there the laws and taxes stilled applied to everyone.

Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece were very powerful and influential forces around the time that Christianity had began to spread. In Rome’s society, people followed under an emperor, who had strict rules about religion and the type of beliefs one should have. At the time, Rome’s official religion was pagan, but later converted to Christian. Ancient Greece had different religious beliefs than those that Christianity consisted of, but these countries were both powerful and helpful in spreading this new religion. Greece and Rome were impactful on Christian doctrine as well as helping this religion thrive and continue to expand to new areas.

Roman society has revolved around religion since the first century. The religion in Rome prospered over time from Mythology to Christianity, which is still the main religion of Rome today.

Although the beliefs and rituals changed over time, Roman religion played an important role in the development of Rome’s society today. Polytheism is the worship of or belief in multiple gods or goddesses.

The influence of latin, greek, and roman culture is everywhere in today's society. Majority of english words come from latin words, the scientific terms for animals also comes from latin.

The reason is that “Merry Christmas” associates with Christians only.

The Order of the Garter held a strong relationship with both the Christian faith and Pope Clement maintaining the motto in the light of the chivalric code practicing good Christianity as well as chivalry thus restoring the original notion of the knights of Christ. The Order of the Temple was the first religious order in existence, which comprised of a brotherhood of knights in Jerusalem set apart from society in accordance to their Christian faith and devotion regulated by the church. The order was founded in the early 12th century in the early days of the quest for holy land; they were originally designed to protect pilgrims traveling to these holy lands. In the later days of the order there was much debate whether the knights could be considered a part of a religious order. In around 1150 Pope Eugenius III, who was Pope of the Catholic Christian faith from 1145 to his death in 1153, received a letter which stated that the monks did not regard the knights of the Order of the Temple as monks and that their fighting the Muslims over seas

Christianity was the dominate religion in the Roman Empire.

(Doc G) Romans believed that there was an afterlife but there were two afterworlds that were for heros and commoners that people would be sent to after being judged on what they did in their lives. (Doc C) Christians to believed in an afterlife in which people who followed the laws of Christianity would be free of illnesses, poverty, and isolation, in their afterlife everyone was equal.

Many of these were introduced via the Greek colonies of southern Italy and others had their roots in the Etruscan or Latin tribes of the region (UNRV).” Having been influenced by other religions the Romans were not against the idea of becoming Christians. “By 392 AD, Emperor Theodosius I banned the practice of pagan religions in Rome altogether and Christianity was, without question, the official religion of the state (UNRV).” Present day the Roman religion does not exist. The Romans all converted their beliefs to Christianity soon after being hesitated to in the early fourth century
