#Roman Emperor #ConstantiusII departed from his father's religious policies. #ConstantineTheGreat left #paganism alone and favoured #Nicene #Christianity. Constantius favoured #Arian Christianity and, #ThisDayInHistory in 356, forbid most pagan worship. He also repressed Judaism.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 361, emperor #ConstantiusII died. On his deathbed he had been baptised a Christian and chose #Julian as his successor. Little did he know that #JulianTheApostate would quickly renounce Christianity, reinvigorate pagan Hellenism, rehabilitate the Jews, etc.

#OTD 337 AD, #ConstantineII, #ConstantiusII & #Constans succeeded #ConstantineI as co-emperors, splitting the #RomanEmpire into three. This set a precedent, eventually leading to a permanent division in 395 AD.
