None before the Romans. It didn't exist as a seperate religion from Judaism until Emperor Constantine made it the state religion around 400 A.D.

The Roman Empire was the first one, and Christianity was declared the offcial religion of the state by the Emperor Constantine, who was a pagan at that time.

The first country to declare itself Christian was Armenia.

Armenia, then Rome, eh? And just look where they are now.
Let that be a lesson to the US, declare yourself a Christian nation and you get overrun by the barbarian hordes and infidels!

I heard it was Armenia too. They were also one of the first to translate the Bible into the vernacular. There's a beautiful edition of its illustrations called THE BIBLE IN THE ARMENIAN TRADITION ISBN 0712346988.
