Detailed explanation-1: -But Rome viewed the Jews with suspicion and persecuted them on several occasions. One of the most serious conflicts between Rome and the Jews began in Judea in A.D. 66 when Nero was emperor.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most brutal of those conflicts-the Second Punic War-put Rome in the greatest danger it ever faced. Rome eventually won, but it never forgot the man who had orchestrated its most shameful defeat: Hannibal Barca. For nearly two decades, Hannibal fought the Romans.
Detailed explanation-3: -By approving Christianity, the Roman state directly undermined its religious traditions. Finally, by this time, Romans considered their emperor a god. But the Christian belief in one god-who was not the emperor-weakened the authority and credibility of the emperor.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
