Answer: The correct answer is Christianity merged with the old Roman faith to create an entirely new religion

Step-by-step explanation:

The Emporer Constantine reigned over the Roman Empire during the era when the transition to Christianity occurred and he accepted it openly. The God Sol being depicted on the coin alongside Constantine is a representation of that transition.
