Century IV

Century IV generally refers to the 4th century AD, covering the years 301 to 400. This period was marked by significant religious, political, and cultural changes, especially in the Roman Empire. It saw the spread of Christianity, which officially became the empire’s dominant religion, leading to the construction of churches and religious art. The Roman Empire faced internal conflicts and external threats, gradually transforming from a unified empire into separate Western and Eastern halves. These changes laid important foundations for medieval Europe and shaped the direction of Western history.
