Mithraism has its roots in ancient Persia, not the Mediterranean basin.

Constantine aligned Christianity of the 4th century, which had already and continued to root itself into a Greek philosophical school, with the notion of empire and administration. Not sure if this shift was necessarily inevitable. Christianity certainly lost its sense of history as defined by the prophets of Israel. The power of the empire and Platonic and Aristotelian thought created a unique social institution within and part of the power of the Empire.

Those care old tests ment who agent a part of the new church of Jesus by his blood sacrifice for all of our hope. Their have been new saints who actually bled for the Catholic faith and holy mother church. Have u not read up on the t first thousand yrs of the church? How r we even having this conversation? Please pray on this and for Israel and Rome, the to top targets of satan...

Pagan is most likely from the word Pakan (Persian) the cleansed ones which later became redefined as vilified to serve a purpose. Contantine's heart never changed but his mind knew what moves to make. The Nordics probably have similar belief toward their gods and so the Galics.

Probably? U must b careful on words especially dealing with holy history. No Constantine like his mother threw the wars fought for Christianity and the Holy lands and so on the the truth. The fruits r abundant can't yet u speak in maybes? Pray for insight my friend!

Lads, Maxentius built the arch and Constantine just added to it.

This is such an amazing documentary.

Ultimately, Constantine was a shrewd politician. He aligned himself with the cult of Sol Invictus (or Apollo) because it was a generic enough form of worship in the classical world to form a basis for a single homogenous religion across the empire. The documentary is right to show that his objective was to create a state religion venerating the Roman emperor and using symbols from Christianity, Mithraism and paganism to do so.

He was baptised just before is death, but some years before, in 325, he promoted and presided among the bishop of Cordoba, the Nicean Council, where they fought doctrines that were not friendly to them, calling them heresy

There is no recording anywhere during his time claiming he was baptized. The Catholic church invented this long after his death.

This is a theological question too. About commitment to Christ, which is not the same as a social institution called (more or less accurately) Christianity. The Christian scriptures validate incarnation and show the first generation's battle with following Christ in their context. Put another way 'pagan' and 'Christian' can be difficult to sort out. It seems likely that both Jesus and also Paul and the other writers regarded themselves as faithful Jews.

@@MondoProducer ---- There is a shrine to Mithras at one of the outposts along Hadrian's Wall in the U.K ..... Julius Caesar admired Alexander the Great however he was HIGH JOVE. Cyrus the Great is also known for being tolerant of many religions but had his mystical insights. I think MITHRAS is a composite morph God bearing an overlap set with Apollo.... however MEHR might be an entity that is closer to the mysticism of the historic courts of the Persian Empire. JOVE is and isn't ZEUS or the planet Jupiter but each name might indicate a metaphysical manifestation of the godhead demi-urge. Constantine i believe was Greek on his mother's side, and his father was the son of Claudius II ...as a young man, he tried to be as christian as his mother Helena but he was exposed to HIGH JOVE.... the traditions passed down from Rome's power elite circa the time of Caesar Augustus. His "Christian" rebirth when he became an Imperator in full was deliberate.

Correct me if i am wrong.... there are four bronze horses in Venice. Constantine's arch had a bronze chariot and 4 horses on it, and a man holding the reins. Nero's old palace had been torn down by Vespasian. There was also a statue to Apollo, who the Greeks would see as being akin to Alexander the Great. Constantine semi-looted panels for his arch. DUDE had an EGO. Put it together.... half Christian, half Roman.... troops from the Rhine area, Neo-Platonism. A captive time in Diocletian's palace so his father does not go into open rebellion, and a possibility of being somebody important eventually. GOOGLE Zenobia. GOOGLE Palmyra. GOOGLE Aurelian. Like CYRUS THE GREAT.... the intent of the EDICT of MILAN was toleration...

If you see Apollo above the charioteer on Constantine's arch when down the road a ways, but as you get closer to where Nero's house/palace had been.... the "dude" holding the reins of the SUN CHARIOT rises above....Apollo. THINK like a Neo-Platonist. THINK of the poor city of PALMYRA. Zenobia said her ancestor was Cleopatra and she was of the bloodline of the royal House of Old Persia. Whether we speak of Zoroaster or the other faiths in that empire, Diocletian did have war stories.... and yes, Augustus Caesar was not 10 feet tall but his statues often were, if placed on Rome's roads. Perspective. Constantine was aware of HIGH JOVE.... Augustus the Imperator was Rome's Pontifex Maximus. www.britannica.com/biography/Zenobia After Palmyra falls, she is in chains... taken to Rome, and marries Diocletian. One of the stories. www.britannica.com/biography/Longinus-Greek-literary-critic This guy was one of Zenobia's courtiers... he took a rhetoric essay circa the time of Augustus Caesar, an imperial essay, and reworked it. He was beheaded after the revolt in the East fails.

Was it christianity that became more pagan? Or was it paganism that became christianity? Either way, there are definitely enough similarities to support the pagan continuity hypothesis.

Interesting to see the actual monuments and hear about the connections. But the setup and sound effects, pretending this is news is rather exhausting.

Very interesting and certainly what Constantine did worked for him.

Great leaps to connect Christianity to Mithraism.

Those marks on the stones could be anything. If a building was marked with a cross I think they would do a better job of it than a scratch that is barely visible?

Constantine Romanized Christianity.
