Discussion : Rome & Christianity
Discuss how the relationships between patrician and plebian defined and expressed the ideals of duty and authority in Roman culture. How did the Republican virtues of Rome change when Rome expanded its territory in the first century B.C.? Did the emergence and growth of Christianity contribute to the decay of "Roman virtue"? Consider the ways Christianity came into conflict with the Roman State Religion. Take a look at the letter from Pliny to Trajan at Peter Kirby's collection of Early Christian Writings (https://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/pliny.html).
