Why did Romans Emperor's persecute Christians?

Christians refused to worship Roman gods.


Who was the Roman emperor that began the persecution of christians?

It is generally agreed that there was no organised, general, centrally directed persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire before the edict of Emperor Decius in 249. This remained in effect until 251 CE. The "great persecution" of Christians was initiated by Emperor Diocletian in 303 CE. It lasted until 305 in the West, but continued until 311 in the East.


Was the first Christian persecution ordered by Julian?

----------------------- Julian the Apostate was Roman Emperor from 361 to 363 CE, after a dynasty of disreputable Christian emperors. He was opposed to persecution on religious grounds and took action to prevent the further persecution of pagans, but did not persecute Christians.


Who was the first Christian Roman Emperor?

AnswerThe general consensus is that Emperor Constantine I (306-337) was the first Christian emperor of Rome. Certainly, he made his support for Christianity clear. Some say that Emperor Philip (Philip the Arab, 244-249) was a Christian and was therefore the first Christian emperor. This is difficult to prove as, unlike Constantine, Philip gave no undue support to Christianity and made no attempt to persecute the pagan temples or discourage their use.Others argue that Constantine was not a true Christian, and only chose to make the Empire Christian to unite it under one faith.
