Thursday.
How did Diocletian persecute the Christians?
What is Constantine's connection to Christianity?
How did Constantine restructure the empire?
We spent a lot of the class talking about Constantine, how he was connected to Christianity, and the significance of him converging to the religion. I didn't take to many note because I already had many note on those questions/answers.
Persecution of the Christians
The second edict
Ordered the arrest as well as the imprisonment of all
bishops and priests
The third edict
Ordered that if any imprisoned clergyman wanted to be freed,
he would have to make a sacrifice to the Roman gods
The fourth edict
Ordered all men, women, and children to come to the public
space and make a collective sacrifice together and if they refused, they would
be executed
