Christian History in Ancient Rome and Persecution under Nero
In AD 64, the great fire of Rome under Emperor Nero led to Christians being blamed for the disaster. Nero, known for immorality, targeted Christians due to their unique beliefs, marking the beginning of Christian persecution. This event was just the start as Christians faced blame for various calamities in history, culminating in Tertullian's reference to being fed to lions for public disasters.
