there were many roads and waterways, and travel was safe.

persecution only occurred in the very early days of the church.

most areas of the empire were tolerant of different religious beliefs.

christian leaders negotiated with roman officials to stop persecution.

The correct answer is A. There were many roads and waterways, and travel was safe.

During the times of the Roman Empire, most parts of Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East were under direct control of the Roman rule. Therefore, Romans built a large network of roads that connected every corner of the empire, which worked as a fast way for the Roman armies to get to distant points. Also, it was fundamental for economic development, since merchants used this network in order to exchange different goods across the empire and the transportation of goods was faster than ever before thanks to the roads. Another important aspect of this road system was the dissemination of Roman culture.

For all these reasons, Christians took advantage of this system in order to take their religion and beliefs and disseminate them throughout the vast territories of the empire. This movement was very successful and, in a period shorter than two centuries, Christianity was present in the most important cities of the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe. It would not have been possible without the road network created by the Romans.
