Frey, Wendy, John Bergez, and Amy Joseph. History Alive!: The Ancient World. Palo Alto,
CA: Teachers' Curriculum Institute, 2004. Print. At first, the Roman empire was
tolerant towards Christianity, but as the new religion was growing, they new that
they must find a way for it to stop. Because there was not a whole chapter on
Constantine, but only a paragraph, this source was not the best. But, the
information that it did have, I could use for background information.
