Additionally, the Roman road network facilitated the spread of Christianity by allowing missionaries and believers to travel and communicate more easily. The appeal of Christianity's message of hope, salvation, and equality also resonated with many people in the diverse and often oppressive Roman Empire. As a result, Christianity gradually gained followers and eventually became the dominant religion in the Roman Empire.
