Ezana of Axum was a 4th-century monarch who governed the Kingdom of Aksum. He is historically significant for being the first Aksumite ruler to adopt Christianity, a transition influenced by his tutor, Frumentius. During his reign, he also adopted the name Ethiopia for his realm following the conquest of the Kingdom of Kush. His rule is well-documented through various inscriptions and coinage, which reflect his military activities and his shift from pagan motifs to Christian symbols.
