Explanation

Antonino Pio was a Greek emperor who ruled from the year 86 until the year 161, he was a magistrate during the rule of Hadrian and thanks to his reputation was chosen as the heir to the throne of Hadrian. His reign was characterized by the peace that was lived during those years because he invested the money of the empire in improving living conditions and instead of persecuting Christians, he protected them. On the other hand, Marcus Aurelius was a Greek emperor who ruled from the year 121 until the year 180. Unlike his adoptive father (Antonino Pio), as emperor of the Roman Empire, he led military forces to persecute Christians because they were believed to be immoral. So, the correct answer is C. Aurelius killed Christians, while Pius was good to his people and kept the peace.

explanation:

the founder of the byzantine empire and its first emperor, constantine the great, moved the capital of the roman empire to the city of byzantium in 330 ce, and renamed it constantinople.

the byzantine empire (the eastern roman empire) was distinct from the western roman empire in several ways; most importantly, the byzantines were christians and spoke greek instead of latin.

constantine the great also legalized christianity, which had previously been persecuted in the roman empire. christianity would become a major element of byzantine culture.

constantinople became the largest city in the empire and a major commercial center, while the western roman empire fell in 476 ce.

as emperor, constantine enacted many administrative, financial, social, and military reforms to strengthen the empire. the government was restructured and civil and military authority separated. a new gold coin, the solidus, was introduced to combat inflation. it would become the standard for byzantine and european currencies for more than a thousand years. as the first roman emperor to claim conversion to christianity, constantine played an influential role in the development of christianity as the religion of the empire. in military matters, the roman army was reorganized to consist of mobile field units and garrison soldiers capable of countering internal threats and barbarian invasions. constantine pursued successful campaigns against the tribes on the roman frontiers—the franks, the alamanni, the goths, and the sarmatians, and even resettled territories abandoned by his predecessors during the turmoil of the previous century.
