Persecution Of Christians In The Roman Empire
During their early history, Christians were persecuted, tortured, mutilated, raped, and massacred in a genocide, throughout the Roman Empire, beginning in the 1st century AD and ending in the 4th century. As Christianity spread through the empire, it came into ideological conflict with the imperial cult of ancient Rome. Pagan practices such as making sacrifices to the deified emperors or other gods were abhorrent to Christians as their beliefs prohibited idolatry. The state and other members of civic society punished Christians for treason, various rumored crimes, illegal assembly, and for introducing an alien cult that led to Roman apostasy. The first, localized Neronian persecution occurred under Emperor Nero () in Rome. A number of mostly localized persecutions occurred during the reign of Marcus Aurelius (). After a lull, persecution resumed under Emperors Decius () and Trebonianus Gallus (). The Decian persecution was particularly extensive. The persecution of Empero ...
