Was it the Romans who built the first church?

Answer by  zegars (61)

Early Christians, who were mostly Jewish, met in synogogues. After being expelled by traditional Jews, they congregated in homes of believers, a practice that would last for centuries. When the Roman emperor Constantine legalized Christianity, real churches, buildings dedicated to the worship of Christ, could finally be built.

Before the Roman's adopted Christianity as the state religion, Christian were prosecuted. So, before it was adopted there were no Christian Church building. Once it was, the Romans built it.

The first Christian churches were founded in Rome and outlying areas by people who had been Jewish and were not considered Roman citizens. Eventually Rome became a Christian city, but not until long after the church had been created.
