King Ezana was the ruler of the Kingdom of Aksum, located in present-day Ethiopia and Eritrea, during the early 4th century AD. He is best known for making Christianity the official religion of his kingdom, which made Aksum one of the first major empires to adopt Christianity as a state religion. His reign marked a significant period of expansion and prosperity for the Aksumite Empire. Ezana is also recognized for his military conquests, which included the annexation of the Kingdom of Kush and parts of the Arabian Peninsula. He was a skilled leader who promoted trade and commerce, helping to establish Aksum as a major trading power in the region. His legacy continues to influence the cultural and religious landscape of Ethiopia today.
