The Trinity as we know it today did not become popular until the first council held by Constantine approximately 300 years after the death of our Lord.
When the various bishops presented their ideas of the Gospel to the emperor he personally embraced the doctrine of the Trinity taught by a Greek bishop. Sorry, you have your explaination mixed up historically. It was the anti-Trinitarian teachings of Arius that was upsetting the apple cart so to speak. Trinitarian teachings are present in ANF writings over a hundred years prior to Nicea.
