Hier al een tekstje dat ik zelf opsnorde op wiki specifiek over de uitroeiing van het paganisme
Citaat:
The Christian persecution of paganism under Theodosius I began in 381, after the first couple of years his reign in the Eastern Roman Empire. In the 380s, Theodosius I reiterated Constantine's ban on Pagan sacrifice, prohibited haruspicy on pain of death, pioneered the criminalization of Magistrates who did not enforce anti-Pagan laws, broke up some pagan associations and destroyed Pagan temples.
Between 389 and 391 he issued the "Theodosian decrees," which established a practical ban on paganism;[1] visits to the temples were forbidden,[2][3] remaining Pagan holidays abolished, the eternal fire in the Temple of Vesta in the Roman Forum extinguished, the Vestal Virgins disbanded, auspices and witchcrafting punished. Theodosian refused to restore the Altar of Victory in the Senate House, as asked by Pagan Senators.
In 392 he became emperor of the whole empire (the last one to do so). From this moment till the end of his reign in 395, while Pagans remained outspoken in their demands for toleration,[4][5] he authorized or participated in the destruction of many temples, holy sites, images and objects of piety throughout the empire.[6][7][8][page needed][9][page needed][10] participated in actions by Christians against major Pagan sites.[11] He issued a comprehensive law that prohibited any Pagan ritual even within the privacy of one's home,[12] and was particularly oppressive of Manicheans.[13] Paganism was now proscribed, a "religio illicita".[14][page needed] He is likely to have suppressed the Ancient Olympic Games, whose last record of celebration is from 393.[15]
