Episode notes
In the beginning of the 3rd century AD Christianity was as you say still a really small sect of Judaism it maybe had 100,000 followers out of a population of 70 or 80 million in the empire so something like Sikhism in the US today. In 312 Constantine the Roman Empire converts to Christianity and then a decade later Christianity becomes the official religion of the Roman Empire. There's a big mystery why why did this happen why was Christianity not that popular for a couple hundred years and then very very popular from the middle of the 3 third century onwards.
