Reenactment of Roman Military & Christianity
#16
Quote:Christianity has many saints in the Roman Army as well.

random example off the top of my head: Saint Maurice, 3rd century. He was an Egyptian centurio whose unit was Christian, and he and his entire century were executed for it.

just to help you out.
AND

Quote:Some of the other Christian military saints (some confirmed, others not):

Most are 4th century and later.
Thank you both! More laudes for you. Smile

Mithras said - "Some may practice their beliefs more strongly, particularly those recruits taken from the cities (where Christianity flourished at the expense of the paganos, dwellers in the countryside"

Salvianus said "For C4th-5th, we have a lot of Christian symbols on the back of our shields as recognition devices as well as devotional images"

I agree with both, though being a country dweller myself, I believe a lot of “old religionsâ€
