Christianity in Roman Britain: From Marginal Faith to Imperial Influence

In this episode we follow the quiet spread of early Christianity across Roman‑occupied Britain, looking at the archaeological record—from small Christian graves and mosaic symbols to basilicas—and how the faith endured through persecution, Constantine’s edict, and finally the collapse of imperial authority. We weigh what contemporary sources reveal against later legends and explore why these nascent communities helped shape medieval Britain. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
