Which of the following describes how marcus aurelius affected the roman empire? a) he demonstrated tolerance towards all religions. b) he built many roads and waterways. c) he gave land to soldiers who fought for rome. d) he persecuted thousands of christians.

The answer is C, He gave land to soldiers who fought for Rome.

Explanation:

Marcus Aurelius made the social system less rigid. This gave people of the lower classes more opportunities to rise in social standing. This also strengthened Romes army and government. If you look at the other answers it will say D, but that wrong because Nero persecuted thousands of Christians not Marcus Aurelius. And its not A because Constantine is the one who demonstrated tolerance towards all religions. Constantine emerged from the civil war as the new emperor. In 313, he proclaimed that every person was free "to follow the religion which he chooses."

Marcus Aurelius made the social system less rigid. This gave people of the lower classes more opportunities to rise in social standing. This also strengthened Romes army and government. I did the lesson on FLVS.
