Fig 1.
The spatio-temporal distribution of the documented presence of Christian congregations.
The congregations from the three periods of interest [20] are shown on the outline of Roman provinces [21]. The map includes also congregations outside the empire.
Fig 2.
Factors of the time of Christianization.
(A) Travel expense to Jerusalem, (B) population size, (C) gravity model with ρ = 1, and (D) gravity model with ρ = 2. The boxes show the median and the quartiles, the whiskers extend past the quartiles by 1.5 interquartile range.

Fig 4.
Effective distance from Jerusalem and the time of Christianization.
(A) the radial distance is equal to the effective distance, colors correspond to the time of Christianization. (B) the distribution of the effective distance against the time of Christianization. The box shows the median and the quartiles, the whiskers extend past the quartiles by 1.5 interquartile range.
