And here you have these people who refused to obey the Roman gods, to do their rituals, to worship the Roman gods. And remember, even there was emperor worship here. And the issue was, more so than even the Jewish people, who, to a certain degree, kept to themselves, these Christians were missionaries. They were spreading their faith to Roman citizens. Families were being split apart, where some decided to become Christians and no longer follow these Roman practices. And so you have these various persecutions and these various purges, and they get more and more significant as you go into the second, and even to some degree in the third century, as Christians become more and more prominent and more and more in number. And remember, they have this missionary zeal, and it really becomes a significant purge under the reign of Diocletian.
