What Did The Romans Ever Do For Witchcraft?!

Learn how Christianity and the Roman Empire criminalised paganism and witchcraft, and set the foundation for the witch trials in the medieval period!

Between 1 AD and 1000 AD, the rise of Christianity and the power of new governments led to the suppression of witchcraft and paganism in Europe. When the Roman Empire adopted Christianity in the 4th century, pagan practices were seen as threats. Emperors like Constantine and Theodosius passed laws to shut down pagan rituals and promote Christian worship. This continued with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the rise of Christian kingdoms, which aimed to unify their lands under one faith.
