It is often wrongly claimed that after Constantine legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire and after Theodosius then made Christianity the official religion of the Empire in 380 AD, that Paganism quickly vanished. But that is not true, because according to Damascius, even Anthemius, one of the last Western Roman Emperors, who reigned from 467 to 472 AD, contemplated to revive Paganism in Rome, and possibly planned to reopen the temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill. Many contemporaries of the later fifth century were still Pagans, such as the Magister Militum Marcellinus, or Flavius Orestes, the father of the last Western Roman Emperor. But even under Justinian, there must still have been many Pagans, because there were widespread anti Pagan persecutions during his reign. But even then Paganism wasn't extinct, because during the later reign of Basil I, a group of Pagans was discovered near the ancient site of Olympia, in the late 9th century, so we can assume that small pockets of Paganism still persisted until the 10th or even 11th centuries, which is remarkable, considering how persecuted Pagans were since the times of Theodosius.
