Chapter 8- 123

     " Instead of dying, The Mediterranean civilization of Greece  and Rome began to spread among many still- Barbarian Northern peoples, until it became the Christian Europe of the Middle ages"

- Christ Victorious- This mosaic in a chapel in the Italian city of Ravenna dates from about A.D. 500, when Rome was beset by invaders and Christians were bitterly  divided over belief.

- The new religion began as a group within Judaism at a time of division and uncertainty among the Jews arising out of their encounter

- The Romans became a huge threat and they took over

- The empire was strong enough to bring about the last and greatest changes in civilization that took place under its rule

-  Christianity had grown and spread rapidly
