Paper #3
Answer this question in an essay about five hundred words: “Was the Emperor Diocletian right to believe that the spread of Christianity represented an existential threat to the Roman Empire? Why or why not?” (This question is NOT about whether he was right to destroy it, only about whether he was right to fear it).” Be sure your answer is in your own words and does not refer to anything except assigned readings and other course materials. Be sure to check the Similarity Report to ensure that I don’t think your answer is copied or plagiarized. Anything up to 10% similarity is fine; anything between ten and twenty-five percent will be graded down; anything over twenty-fiver percent will receive a zero. Be sure to submit your answer in a format Turnitin can read.
