	Aksum - Chs. 6-10. by Dr. Stuart Munro-Hay.
		Ezana's assumption of his majority under such difficult circumstances, when he needed to set out immediately on campaigns to secure his kingdom, may also partly explain his continued use of pagan phraseology in his inscriptions; the result of a delay from practical causes in announcing his new religion.
		Ezana's titles are, on his pagan inscription in Greek, (DAE 4), `Aeizanas, king of the Aksumites, the Himyarites, Raeidan, the Ethiopians, the Sabaeans, Silei (Salhen), Tiyamo, the Beja, and Kasou, king of kings, son of the unconquered Ares'.

		Ezana would bring no great entourage with him to Thrace, though he himself was now famous, and such a retinue was always offered to him by the negusa nagast; simply himself and his own collections of scars and memories.
		He would enjoy watching the sun set over the distant mountains of Macedon, his cup in his hand; the company of Menander and his half-sister; their great brood of attentive offspring, and the even greater horde of scruffy village children for whom Menander's modest estate was a giant playground; and the memories.
		There was nothing in the tale, now, of the confusion of inexperience in the chaos of battle, and the sheer luck which had enabled a nameless and unknown pirate to stab, without even knowing his exact target, a brave but clumsy novice.

		Ezana's earlier issues are indistinguishable from those of his predecessors.
		By the end of his reign, and perhaps as early as the 340s, the reverses of all bronze coins issued in his name were stamped with a large and conspicuous Christian cross.
		One of Ezana’s immediate successors in the second half of the fourth century, a man whose name, MHDYS, is known only in its unvocalized version, issued a bronze piece bearing that very Constantinian motto.

		As king, Ezana allowed them to go: Aedesius to Tyre, where he became a priest, and Frumentius to Alexandria—where that city's patriarch consecrated him as a bishop and sent him back to Aksum as a missionary.
		The fact of Ezana's conversion is preserved in the coins of Ezana, which had previously borne pagan symbols but thereafter bore the cross, as well as in numerous inscriptions throughout his empire.
		It is possible to conclude from these records that Ezana began the conquest of southern Arabia, which Aksum's rulers would dominate by the sixth century.

		In about 356AD the emperor Constantius II wrote to Ezana trying to persuade him to submit Frumentius to doctrinal examination by his own appointee to Alexandria, the bishop George of Cappadocia, who, with the emperor, subscribed to the Arian heresy.

		The precise reasons for Ezana's conversion are unknown, although there is speculation that it might have been due to either influence of the Roman emperor Constantine or Aksum's close trading ties with Greece.
		Whatever the ultimate reason for Ezana's decision, its significance to Ezana and his kingdom is made clear by the way in which Aksumite coins began to bear images of the Cross of Christ rather than either symbols from Aksum's traditional, polytheistic religions or images of Ezana himself.
		An inscription left by King Ezana states: "Twice or thrice they had broken their solemn oaths and had killed their neighbors without mercy, and they had stripped our deputies and messengers whom I sent to inquire into their raids....
