Projects Embedded in Classes

HIST 430   Roman Republic and Empire

• This project focused on the spread of Arianism (which was a belief developed in late Roman Empire that asserted that Jesus and God were separate and not of the same essence; God was superior and Jesus was inferior.  As a result of the Council of Nicaea this belief was considered heresy).
