Explanation:

Hello!

In the middle of the fourth century AD, Ezana ruled the kingdom of Aksum.

With the intention of evangelizing the kingdom, Ezana decided to strengthen the church as a very important institution.  In this sense, he supported Frumentius as the head of the church.  Ezana also ordered the construction of numerous churches.

At that time, the Roman Empire used a trade route between the Mediterranean Sea and India, using the Red Sea for it.  Aksum used the port of Adulis as the center of this commercial route. The military campaign in Meroe territory was aimed at ensuring the hegemonic position of Adulis.

Answer 2

Answer and Explanation:

The adoption of Christianity in Ethiopia dates back to the fourth century of Axim King Ezana. The geographical location of Achilles, on the southern bank of the Hellenized Knight East, was critical to its transformation and development. It was located along the major international trade routes between India and the Roman Empire via the Red Sea.

Ezana's decision to convert to Christianity was likely influenced by his desire to deepen his trade ties with the Roman Empire. Christianity provided the opportunity to unite the many diverse ethnic and linguistic peoples of the Aksani kingdom, the goal of Ezana's leadership.
