The '''religious policies of Constantius II''' were a mixture of toleration for some [[pagan]] practices and repression for other pagan practices. He also sought to advance the Arian or Semi-Arianian [[heresy]] within [[Christianity]]. These policies may be contrasted with the religious policies of his father, [[Constantine the Great]], whose Catholic orthodoxy was espoused in the Nicene Creed and who largely tolerated paganism in the Roman Empire. Constantius also sought to repress [[Judaism]]. | The '''religious policies of Constantius II''' were a mixture of toleration for some [[pagan]] practices and repression for other pagan practices.
