King Ezana (seen to the left) was one of the so called greatest rulers of Aksum. He ruled from c.333 to c. 356. King Ezana was the first christian King of Aksum. From inscriptions Ezana appears to have been the most important of the Aksumite rulers. Early inscriptions show him as polytheist, worshipping a wide range of gods and goddesses, but another of later date refers only to the "Lord of Heaven."
