The primary industry of District 10 is livestock. In district 10, the jobs include butchers, milkers, ranchers, barn managers, breeders, and farmers. District 10 is the tenth smallest district and has a livestock total of approximately 1 million and a population of 19,234. They are in high demand for tesserae from the Capitol with a total of 291,963, which makes this district the third most poverty-stricken district. The tributes from District 10 varied in their ranking since the female tribute died during the bloodbath at the Cornucopia and the male tribute lasted many days longer. The Cornucopia is the center of a grand supply of enticing items where the tributes begin their fighting and eventually leads to an expedient

When Constantine moved the capital to Constantinople the Christian churches of Rome and Constantinople found themselves at odds. They ended up differing on many subjects. Over the years they gradually grew apart until the final split happened in 1054. This continues to today. The differences are slight but significant. The Roman church continued with using Latin as the official language, giving the Pope the ultimate authority, but not allowing priests to get married (Doc C). Whilst the Eastern Orthodox church decided to have Greek as the official language, instead of a Pope they had a ceremonial leader, also known as the Patriarch (who could marry); this is because Constantinople failed to see the Pope as the supreme authority. Their interpretation of the bible was also a bit different (Doc C). In the world there are about 120,845,374 people who worship Orthodox Christianity. Though there are many branches of it. Most of the religion stays in the Eastern side of the world, except the 5,000,000 or so Americans (Doc C). If it hadn’t been for the Byzantines stepping out

While Constantine I ruled the Roman Empire, Christianity became the overriding faith of Rome. 5 While Constantine I had been exposed to Christianity during childhood through his mother, Helena, he was never a true believer. Many Christian sources write that Constantine received a revelation in 312 before the Battle of Milvian Bridge.

Constantine defeated the Eastern Emperor Licinius in the civil war of 324. Since this point, he reigned over the whole united Roman Empire. One of Constantinople's actions as Emperor was to move the capital of Rome from the city of Rome to Byzantium, which he renamed Constantinople. Rome, as the original capital, still retained much of its power. The two cities served as capitals of the Eastern and Western halves of the Empire. Having contracted a serious illness, Constantine was officially baptised into Christianity on his deathbed. The next great change for Christianity came under the rule of Emperor Theodosius in 379 AD. Although the Roman Empire had been predominately Christian for some time, Theodosius took the final step in making Christianity

He was the first emperor to make the conversion to Christianity. Christianity is a monotheistic religion that focuses on the teachings of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Reasons why he may have converted from paganism to Christianity are that it could help him politically in ruling the empire by gaining support or that during war his experiences may have caused him to have a change of heart but most think it's because of the former. Christianity did not become the official religion until the reign of Emperor Theodosius. Constantine blamed his rise to power on the Christian God and believed that he was chosen by God to rule and bring prosperity to all.

The Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic, are two variations of the same religion, that due to some disagreements over certain ideas and religious teachings leads to the great Schism in 1054 AD. The great schism of 1054 refers to the final separation of the Eastern Orthodox church, led by the patriarch in Constantinople and the western church, led by Pope Leo IX. The estrangement between the Orthodox and Roman church, happened gradually over the course of the 5th and much of the 11th century. The reasons of the Schism are attributed to several differences between the two churches. The religious and doctrinal studies of the East, had roots in Greek philosophy, while the Western studies closely followed Roman law. Misunderstandings between the two churches then led to two separate ways of defining one doctrine, which would initiate the split. The doctrine in question, procession of the Holy Spirit, where without consulting the East the Roman churches added “and from the Son” to the Nicene Creed. This was not the only thing the two churches clashed on. The eastern church resented the forced clerical celibacy, political jealousies and interests only intensified the disputes. There had been schisms before but not ones that were permanent. While there may have been hopes for a reconciliation, the eastern Greeks were infuriated by the Latin capture of Constantinople in 1204 A.D. After this, any pleas from the west concerning reunion were rejected. (“Schism of 1054”)

Eight years after Constantine's birth, Emperor Diocletian issued a new type of government: a tetrarchy, or “rule of four”. This tetrarchy split the government in two, and consisted of Maximian, a strong military commander, ruling the west, and Diocletian himself ruling the east. Galerius, a soldier of Rome, and Constantius Chlorus, Constantine's father, served as co-Caesars. It was in the east that Constantine happened to work as a member of the Imperial Court. So, it comes as no surprise that there is where he probably had his first encounters with Christianity in court circles and in the cities of the east. Diocletian and Galerius, on the other hand, dealt with Christianity almost constantly, but with their beliefs firmly rooted withing paganism, they were the ones who persecuted the Christians. For these men the state of mind toward state and God between Christianity and roman paganism were polar opposites: “In the Roman mind, religion was a government department, and it was the duty of the government to maintain favor in the eyes of the gods. From the Christian point of view there was a distinct difference between God and emperor, and the former had priority. Pagans saw Christians as a dangerous threat to the crown. Christians simply wanted relief from persecution (Willems, Katharine. “Constantine and Christianity: The Formation of the Christian State Church”)”; Diocletian was

The life of Constantine, a Roman emperor from 306 to 337 AD, is explained by two different accounts that differ from each other. The first one that was written by Eusebius in 337 AD states that Constantine is a victorious, pious emperor who helps others and orders the construction of sacred places to honor Christ. The second account was written in 520 AD by Zosimus and it states that Constantine is an impious, arrogant and selfish emperor who is responsible of the Roman Empire’s collapse.

Even though Constantine was the first emperor to introduce Rome to Christianity, Rome wasn’t completely Christian. Pagan was still practiced and the Christian church was built outside of Rome that way he didn’t offend his people since a few upper-class man were still pagan. The whole irony of this is that he wasn’t baptized yet and he was still practicing paganizing while claiming to be Christian. While on his journey he noticed he was starting to feel weak and after a time his illness started getting worse and had to halt his campaign against Persia. Constantine died on May 22, 337, in Ancyrona, near Nicomedia, Bithynia at the approximate age of 57. Before dying, he got baptized so he could rest in peace. (Constantine I

Before Emperor Constantine made the decision to convert to Christianity he was anti-christianity previously. Even though people made a big deal in the beginning about the Emperor Constantine’s choice to convert he still became well known for this. Many people were curious as to what could

The beginning of the fourth century was when the Orthodox Church developed. After 100s and 100s of years an Emperor of the Roman Empire was orthodox. This was St Constantine the Great. During the 4th century to the 10th, the Church and the Empire developed a very close and beneficial relationship. St Constantine was the son of Constantius Constainious Chlorus, and St Helen. He was born between 272 and 280 in Naissus (todays Nis in Serbia). St Constantine’s full name was Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus. As a young boy St Constantine was educated in matters of religion known as Solar Henotheism. He was also educated in the art of military, fighting in both Egypt and Persia before joining his father’s military campaign. In 306, when his

Constantine was one of the most famous Christians ever. If it were not for him Christianity would be dead. He was not a saint, he was guilty of killing his wife and child. He joined Christianity because

Constantine's reign as Roman emperor (A.D. 306-337) dramatically changed the direction of Christianity, though in ways far different from those portrayed in The Da Vinci Code. This grew out of his strategy for unifying his empire by creating a “catholic”—meaning universal —church that would blend elements from many religions into one.

Constantine the Great, first Christian Emperor, originator of Constantinople, creator of the Byzantine Empire, military conqueror, and honored saint, has been labeled by many the most instrumental emperor of the Roman Empire. Constantine played a crucial role in the development of Europe during the Middle Ages, and founded Christianity as the formal religion of the Roman Empire. His dynamic yet effective predominance laid the infrastructure of European development. From his humble beginnings, to his command of the Roman Empire, to his final days, Constantine’s impact on world history and Christianity has left behind an unforgettable legacy. He was described by Eusebius as “such an emperor as all history records

Besides Constantine’s hunger for power, there was another detrimental flaw in his strategy for the spread of Christianity. According to many historians, Constantine did not actually believe in the Christian religion. Although he made it a priority to spread Christianity through the Roman Empire, He continued to worship the Sun God. According to The Impact of Constantine on Christianity there was,
