WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -To the Romans, Jesus was a troublemaker who had got his just desserts. To the Christians, however, he was a martyr and it was soon clear that the execution had made Judaea even more unstable. Pontius Pilate – the Roman governor of Judaea and the man who ordered the crucifixion – was ordered home in disgrace.

Detailed explanation-2: -In Christian tradition, nailing the limbs to the wood of the cross is assumed, with debate centring on whether nails would pierce hands or the more structurally sound wrists. But Romans did not always nail crucifixion victims to their crosses, and instead sometimes tied them in place with rope.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Romans initially persecuted Christians. They saw their monotheistic religion to be a threat to the state. However, Christians continued to grow in number and in influence. By the 4th century AD, Christianity had become the official religion of the Roman empire.

Detailed explanation-4: -Although Judaea was ruled by the Romans, the governors there had practiced the same kind of religious tolerance as was shown to Jews in Rome [expert]. However, Roman tactlessness and inefficiency, along with famine and internal squabbles, led to a rise in Jewish discontent.
