In what ways did pagan iconography/symbols/general beliefs influence the way Christianity developed when it was adopted in the Roman Empire?

by LucasSSBM
In other words, did things like the cult of Sol Invictus (which Constantine depicted in some of his [minted currency](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1f/Follis-Constantine-lyons_RIC_VI_309.jpg) or other non-Christian deities combine/fuse in some way with traditional Christian texts? Are there any Christian practices today that do not originate from actual Christian texts which we can trace to pagan origins?
