That the title suggestes: i'm wondering how in the IIth century the Roman and the Christian history will be affected if one, or more than one, emperor of the Antoninian Dynasty at certain point converted to Christianity. They will keep secret their conversion? Or to legalize Christianity, in order to let become soon the main religion? As Pontifex Maximus, they will try to modify important aspect of Christian Teology (Emperor-Popes... devasting mix, indeed
?) An early Christian Empire will survive, or managed better to survive?
( P.S.: To me, the most valuable candidate is Anthoninus Pious, but also the idea of a Christian Commodus...
