'''Theodosius''' was born in [[Spain]] in the year 347. He was appointed emperor of the East by Gratian when he was thirty-two. In 380, he passed De Fidel Catolica, a law which required all people except for the Jews to follow the [[orthodox]] creed of the churches of Rome and Alexandria. Over the years, he destroyed pagan temples and [[Arian]] churches, and turned those he preserved into Catholic basilicas. | '''Theodosius''' was born in [[Spain]] in the year 347.
