Языческая оппозиция христианизации Римской империи (IV–VI вв.)

In the eastern provinces, the local curial aristocracy also managed to integrate into the new system of religious relations, to find ways of mutually beneficial coexistence with the church organization, which, however, did not save it from the purposeful state policy of weakening the local municipal government. In the VI century the curial organization died out under the burden of fiscal obligations. The centralization of the Eastern Roman Empire, achieved by Justinian, allowed him to carry out large-scale campaigns and implement ambitious construction projects. However, these actions required excessive strain of the forces of the eastern provinces, absorbed huge resources and, therefore, could not continue for a long time. By the end of the VI century the Eastern empire was forced to return to defensive politics, and in the VII century passed through a long political and economic crisis, during which it completely changed its structure and largely lost its connection with the socio-economic institutions of antiquity.
