The Roman Empire converted to Christianity because Constantine was converted and he was ruler at the time.

he new Emperor Thedosius needed gold and silver to raise another army. The pagan temples had a lot of gold and silver. So he declared the Edict of Thessalonika in 380 A.D. which made Nicaean Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire in both West and East. Jews were exempted.
