has gloss | eng: Philip the Arab was one of the few third-century Roman emperors sympathetic to Christians, although his relationship with Christianity is obscure and controversial. During the late third century and into the fourth, it was held by some churchmen that Philip had been the first Christian emperor; he was described as such in Jeromes Chronicon (Chronicle), which was well known during the middle ages, and in Orosius highly popular Historia Adversus Paganos (History Against the Pagans). |
