Forming Roman Empire as unreformed pagan

If I'm unreformed pagan and control all the key duchies, can I convert to christianity via concubine, form the Roman Empire, and immediately convert back to my capital's religion? Will I still keep the Augustus trait?

You can have a norse Roman Empire, however you can't change back immediately. This shouldn't figure too big a problem though.

A detailed step-by-step guide of what I did:

I took the Byzantine Empire by kidnapping a close relative of the Baselius and got a kid with her (kinky!)
Conquered the required Duchies
Moved my Capital to a Christian County to convert
Gave my heir the title of Fylkyr (the religious head of reformed norse)
Switched to Christian
Formed Rome
'Lost' to a Tyranny rebellion so my (still norse) heir takes over. (you could also just wait for your current ruler to die, but that might take a while)

Whether you keep the title of Augustus I can't explicitely remember, but I don't see why not. I will load up the safe when getting home to check.

Note: I do not know whether any DLCs are required for this as I always play with all enabled, and it was well over 2 years that I did this myself, so they might have changed it (which I doubt however)

EDIT: The DLCs needed for this: Legacy of Rome to form Rome (obviously), Old Gods to play as Pagan (thanks to @RossRidge for pointing this out) and Sons of Abraham so you can move your capital.

Was Roman Empire pagan?

This was the context for Rome's conflict with Christianity, which Romans variously regarded as a form of atheism and novel superstitio, while Christians considered Roman religion to be paganism. Ultimately, Roman polytheism was brought to an end with the adoption of Christianity as the official religion of the empire.

When did the Roman empire stop being pagan?

Theodosius followed this by the prohibition of all pagan sacrifices; and when he was established as sole Emperor (following Gratian's murder by his own troops) a series of edicts were issued in 391 AD and 392 AD abolishing all pagan cults and ceremonies - including, for instance, the Olympic Games.

What happened to pagans in rome?

Persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire began during the reign of Constantine the Great (306\u2013337) in the military colony of Aelia Capitolina (Jerusalem), when he destroyed a pagan temple for the purpose of constructing a Christian church.
