Christianity spread all over the Roman Empire because most "Romans" (yes even Italians) were deracinated Euromutts who didn't really feel any connection to Romanity or their pre-Roman ancestors who got conquered. This set the foundation for the development of future European nationalities and the "barbarian" regions of Europe were modeled after this in Germany, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, etc. Okay cool. So why do RWers who think that anything foreign and anything cosmopolitan is evil worship the Roman Empire? Even the Roman Republic was like this, although yes, there was more of an oppressive divide between Roman and non-Roman. Fuck's sake man be consistent and pick your struggles, at least niche unga bunga ethnonationalists have some train of logic to them.

that's not true, Romanitas remained very important and if anything spread to encompass the majority of the Empire's population rather than just the Italians. Prudentius, a late antique poet from northwest Hispania, spoke of himself as being part of the "Race of Romulus" and was clearly quite patriotic for the idea of Rome despite being a provincial. Similarly Sidonius Apollinaris who was from central Gaul identified himself with the Romans of the 1st Century BC through his description of Catiline and his co-conspirators in his letters.
