Introduction Byzantine culture that inherited ancients Greece legacy has its uniqueness in various aspects like art, education and law. Rome had its’ contribution to the Byzantine culture that had experienced a heavy Christianity influence. Byzantine exercised a stable government and its legal system that was codified by emperor Justinian served as a model in the west. It also refers to the eastern Roman Empire and the time that came before the fall of the Western Roman Empire 1 . Christianity and Paganism Several accusations were made about Christians during the rule of Emperor Trajan in Bithania. Pliny did not understand much about Christianity and Trajan even had even less knowledge of it. The Roman citizens were facing accusations and Pliny’s concern was what should have been done. He thought that proper encouragement would make people to be prepared to give up Christianity. With his ignorance of what to do, he wrote to Emperor Trajan on the different kind of punishments that should be imposed on the Christians. He felt concerned that the number of people being brought to trial was increasing and thus more persons were endangered and could face executions.
