Pagan temples but also looking at the vandalised statues. New heavy
persecutions all around the empire. In Alexandria, Egypt, Pagans, led by the

Epiphanius and “Saint” Tychon destroy almost all the temples of the island
and exterminate thousands of non-Christians. The local Mysteries of goddess
Aphrodite are ended. Theodosius’s edict declares: “the ones that won’t
obey pater Epiphanius have no right to keep living in that island”. The

part of the Hellenic “idolatry”. The Christians sack the temples of
Olympia.
395 Two new edicts (22nd July and 7th August) cause new persecutions against
Pagans. Rufinus, the eunuch Prime Minister of emperor Flavius Arcadius
directs the hordes of the baptised Goths (led by Alaric) to the country of
the Hellenes. Encouraged by Christian monks the barbarians sack and burn
many cities (Dion, Delphi, Megara, Corinth, Pheneos, Argos, Nemea, Lycosoura
, Sparta, Messene, Phigaleia, Olympia, etc.), slaughter or enslave

Athens, Olympia, and other Greek cities.
448 Theodosius II orders all non-Christian books to be burned. All copies of

extracts from the first three of seven of Julian’s books in his refutation
of him, while admitting that he would not cite some of his srguments!
