Abstract
We hypothesize that the scarcely evidenced temporal and spatial distribution of Christianity over the Roman Empire can be re-grown in an artificial simulation environment as a diffusion of innovation model on a Roman travelling network of roads and maritime routes, which connects respective settlement sites to one another. We consider only (1) the travel expenses, (2) population sizes of reachable destinations, and (3) exponential grow of Christian number, while all the other environmental variables can be ignored for the sake of the analysis.
