1-emergence of Eastern religions.

One of the most popular Eastern religions was that of the god Mithras
was connected with the sun.


The emergence of Eastern religions in the Roman Empire, was undermining the relationship of man with his world, his state and its official religion. Formerly

man societies of Greece and Rome, lived for maintenance and durability of the state and the community. There were personal and individualistic thoughts among people of pagan antiquity. One
born, lived and died for the maintenance and survival of the common good and the nation.
Religion had as one of its purposes; encourage, motivate and teach the way of community sacrifice, as in antiquity, religion and the nation-state are intertwined in a single, indivisible entity. All

a person's life revolved around the needs of society and have been, closely related to religion and commanding officer forced to follow the fees charged by the state, they were the same as those that ordered the gods mortals. But unlike these conceptions and traditions, religions and beliefs that came from the east in the early first century AD, sponsoring a new vision of the man-gods, man-state. They called for a personal salvation and individual soul, an intimate walk away from the firstborn order of existence, the service body and soul to a theocratic state.
result of these new influences, it was causing a gap between the relationship of subjugation of the individual against the masses, motivating a more intimate relationship with the gods.

After the emergence of these new religions, the reward was no longer in the material world, but in a world heritage, after this earthly life and earned through personal sacrifice.

The new hero was no longer the man who sacrificed his life for fame, honor and glory of Rome and the state, but the man represented by the monks and Christian priests, who now sacrifice their lives for the salvation of souls in the afterlife.
