The early Christian martyrs were persecuted for their beliefs. Their deaths were seen as a testimony of the truth of Christianity. Rome had never faced such an enemy before. • Three decades after Christ’s crucifixion, Emperor Nero began the Roman Empire’s persecution of the early Christians. It all culminated with executions in Nicomedia almost 300 years later. Emperor after emperor tried to stifle the Christian faith with prohibitions, extreme torture, and monstrous methods of execution. But it didn’t help much. Roman governors reported that condemned Christians seemed almost elated at the prospect of becoming Christian martyrs. • #history #documentary #christianity
