When Milan was the capital of the west, it surpassed Rome in importance because the imperial court was there. Christianity was made the state religion of the empire with the Edict of Milan. Two fathers of the Catholic church worked in Milan.
Archaeological work has revealed a large and well-preserved forum, a theater, the alleged jail of Paul and several Byzantine churches, including one of the earliest churches known in Greece. The number of churches in the city in the Byzantine period indicate Philippiâs importance to Christians at this time. A series of earthquakes apparently destroyed many of the buildings and probably contributed to the cityâs decline.
