Or a more basic question: have you heard of Theodosius The Great before?

It wasn't Christianity. He made a law that everyone was to convert to Roman Catholics or they would be killed.

Yes, I have heard of him. he didn't influence Christianity. You will find no textual evidence form the Fathers or contemporary sources to show he left a lasting impression.
Israelmoya,
Rome had not had kings since the Tarquins. The claim that they edited or changed anything is a myth. All the doctrines of the Church were well established by accepted sources long before Christianity was the offical Roman religion. Further, Atah lo yodeh kloom.

Aw, stop asking such an academic question. Have a life. Have fun. I love research, but not at this time. Theodosius' name means something about god, the theo part.
