For the longest time, the Roman Empire had banned the religion known as Christianity and punished those who were Christian. Christians' and Christianity were accused of not worshipping the emperor, which led them to being prosecuted.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it is often claimed that Christians were persecuted for their refusal to worship the emperor, general dislike for Christians likely arose from their refusal to worship the gods or take part in sacrifice, which was expected of those living in the Roman Empire.
