Baptism of the masses?

Does anyone know when large numbers of soldiers or pagans were just baptized and 'became' Christian?
I assume this would have been in the late 300s or early 400s and continued from time to time from there. I just don't have any source material or articles available on the subject.

Thanks

It also happened in the first century:

So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls. (Acts 2:41)

Our associate pastor has used as a sermon illustration the legend about the Knights being baptized but not including their swords. This may not be what you are looking for.

I located this website that may be closer to what you are looking for.
