Theodosius the Great

Theodosius the Great was a Roman emperor who ruled from 379 to 395 AD. He is best known for making Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire and for efforts to unify the empire's diverse peoples and faiths. Theodosius suppressed pagan practices and heresies, promoting orthodox Christianity. His reign helped shape the future of Christian Europe and solidified the church's influence alongside imperial power. He also worked to strengthen the empire's administration and military, though his policies sometimes led to conflicts within the empire's religious and political life.
