Changes

'''Theodosius''' (full name: ''Imperator Caesar Flavius Theodosius Augustus'') was born in [[Spain]] in the year 347. He was appointed Emperor of the [[Byzantine Empire|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.

In 392, the western emperor [[Valentinian II]] was killed by the pagan general Arbogast, who made a pro-heathen Christian named Eugenius the emperor. Outraged at the murder of Valentinian and the pagan restoration, Theodosius built up an army to make the West believers in Our Lord Jesus. At the Frigidus in 394, his armies defeated those of the west. Eugenius was killed. Arbogast fled into the mountains and ended up killing himself—the end for a wicked coward. Now Catholicism was enforced across the empire. But on January 17, AD 395, Theodosius died in Mediolanum. His death would result in the final division of the Roman Empire into two parts ruled by his young and inexperienced sons, [[Arcadius]] and [[Honorius]]. Theodosius's death is one of the causes for the decline and fall of the [[Western Roman Empire]].

But on January 17, AD 395, Theodosius died in Mediolanum due to disease. His death would result in the final division of the Roman Empire into two parts ruled by his young and inexperienced sons, [[Arcadius]] and [[Honorius]]. Theodosius's death is one of the causes for the decline and fall of the [[Western Roman Empire]]. His religious polices would see Nicene Christianity being the state religion and the dominant religion in the Empire. Arianism by the end of his reign was dying and it was only found really in several Germanic Barbarian Tribes who had been converted to

Arian Christianity by Arian proselytizing Heretics.
