Answer: b - St. Peter and St. Paul
Explanation:
St. Peter and St. Paul were the first martyrs, who died at the hands of the Roman emperor Nero. They promoted Christianity in Rome and were killed because of it. In the following centuries, persecution of Christians continued and the most fierce fairies during the Diocletian.
The constant abuse of Christians characterized the earliest period of Christianity in Rome. Only under Emperor Constantine, did the persecution of Christians stop. With the Edict of Milan (Italy) in 313, the emperor allowed freedom of religion, so that Christianity would expand significantly in the coming period. In 387, Christianity became the state religion in ancient Rome.
The prehistoric era predates writing. Human progress included primitive tools and weapons, clothing, fire, cave art and burial of the dead. During the Old Stone Age, human beings were learning, but they were learning slowly. Then around 10,000 years ago progress began to speed up, with developments like agriculture, the domestication of animals, the creation of permanent villages and cities, etc. Writing began to appear around 5,000 years ago (around 3,000 BC) and that may be the beginning of what we call history, since we begin to know what people were thinking as well as what they were doing.
