Why did constantine legalize christianity?

History

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]3 years ago

History isn't actually quite sure why Constantine decided to convert the Roman religion to Christianity. 
History can prove multiple guesses as to why, so I'll list a few of them:

Constantine converted for political purposes:
Frankly, this just confuses me. Constantine converted to Christianity indeed, but he would've had nothing to gain from this. Before he converted, Christians were hated, as well as Christianity. There was definitely more of a downside than an upside. 

Constantine converted because he personally believed in Christianity. 
This theory is logical. Constantine's father wasn't like him, meaning he made no attempts to support Christianity, so Constantine would've had to have been influenced by someone else. At that time, the silk road was blooming and thriving, and missionaries from all religions traveled to other nations/empires through the use of that trade route, including Christian Missionaries. It seems likely that Constantine was influenced by one of these missionaries at a young age, and became a believer in Christianity from then-on. 
Later on, there was at least 1 priest in his private circle (most trusted friends/advisors). 

The most likely reason is that Constantine was indeed a believer of Christianity, which is why he legalized it.

If archaeologists uncover an ancient town in a dig, how can they tell if it was “Paleolithic,” “Neolithic,” or “Bronze Age?”
Fofino [41]

Answer:

The answer is below

Given that Paleolithic is characterized by the Stone Age, the Neolithic era is characterized by Farming with more of wooden tools and less of stone, while the Bronze Age is more of metal tools.

Then, If the discovered tools or materials from the dig are majorly stone tools, then it can be inferred that it is Paleolithic era, but if it is majorly farm tools such as wood and bone made tools, it can be inferred that it is Neolithic Era. On the other hand, if it is more of metal tools, then it can be concluded that it is Bronze Age.

Which three of the following technological advances allowed European sailors to find routes to Asia?
Brut [27]
The correct answers are map making, compasses, and square sails .

Map making made significant progress during the Age of Exploration (when Europeans were sailing to Asia). Thanks to maps that accurately included North and South America and their separation from Asia, sailors were better able to navigate their way around the globe.

Compasses also helped tremendously. These devices helped sailors to find their bearings and assess what direction they were heading.

Lastly, square sails helped in the process of traveling from Europe to Asia. During this period, caravels became ships developed by the Portuguese. These easily movable ships often used square sails as a means to direct their boat.
