According to the late antique historian Orosius, the appearance of Augustus as the sole ruler of the Roman Empire was part of God’s plan for the Christianisation of the world: “Caesar’s empire was established with a view to the future coming of Christ”. Join Tim Whitmarsh to explore to what extent did the spread of early Christianity depend on the emergence of the new world order. Is the success story of the new cult separable from that of the new political dispensation?
