    		Augustus Caesar's reforming of the tax code produced a large number of salaried civil service tax collectors and a more efficient and seemingly "fair" tax system. Trade was spurred by this reform which is considered by many to be driving factor behind the Empire's prosperity for two centuries as well as making Augustus a very popular ruler. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus_Caesar#Augustus.27_legacy

    In the ancient Roman Empire, they used to massacre Christians in the hundreds because they wouldn't sacrifice animals to the Roman Gods. Now in the movie 'Gladiator' they still worshipped their Gods (around 100 AD or so) and in 'King Arthur' they were Christians (around 4-500 AD) so I'm wondering what happened? Why did they convert?
