Detailed explanation-1: -Many Romans feared the spread of Christianity, because Christian ideas did not agree with the old Roman ways. The Roman Emperor Nero began one of the first persecutions of early Christians in AD 64. It was also in the year AD 64 that the Great Fire of Rome burned much of the city.
Detailed explanation-2: -Christians were occasionally persecuted-formally punished-for their beliefs during the first two centuries CE. But the Roman state’s official position was generally to ignore Christians unless they clearly challenged imperial authority.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main difference between Christianity and the ancient Roman religion is that Christianity is a monotheistic religion, and the Roman religion was a polytheistic religion. Monotheism means that a religion (like Christianity) believes in only one, all-powerful God.
