Detailed explanation-1: -Religious tolerance Under the Emperor Augustus, Jews in Rome were allowed to live together and were treated fairly. Philo wrote that they could practice their religion and received the same help as any other Roman.

Detailed explanation-2: -By the end of the 100s, emperors had given up some of the land the Roman army had conquered. These emperors feared that the empire had become too large to defend or govern efficiently. As later rulers discovered, these emperors were right.

Detailed explanation-3: -Judaism had received the status of a legal religion in the Roman Empire with formal protections. Although Christianity developed out of Jewish traditions, it had no such legal protections. Christians were occasionally persecuted-formally punished-for their beliefs during the first two centuries CE.
