The Change in Direction of the Roman Empire

A lot of people think that he underwent some kind of conversion so that he had a traditionally pagan education and his astrological work. I don't really think that logic necessarily follows. It's very hard to know from the context of Syracuse in that period, by the 330, 340s,. sure, a lot of upper-class Roman families would have converted to Christianity. But we also know from evidence elsewhere in more peripheral parts of the empire like La Langston, Rome, and Villa in Kent where we know that some of the family were Christians and some of them were pagans.
