D. 244- 249.1 The anonymous author of the Origo Constantini also believed that Philip professed to be a Christian, albeit with ulterior motives. &quot;This Constantine was the first Christian Emperor except for Philip (the Arab) who, or so it seems to me, became Christian simply in order that the thousandth year of Rome might be said to belong to Christ rather than to idols.&quot; The accounts of the Christian beliefs of Philip were probably just rumors originally started in an attempt to make the emperor look bad, as Christianity was not a very popular religion yet.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
