Christians overcame Roman by the conversion of Constantine. Once Constantine was converted to Christianity, many believe this was the acceptance of Christians.

Early history reports that it was not the belief of the Christian's religion that created the conflict withRome, but the failure of Christians to honor the sacrifice to the Roman gods that created many of the problems.

Historical writings have shown that Christians were allowed to practice their faith as long as they were still willing to maintain their sacrifices to the Roman gods. When this was not adhered to, the Romans considered it to be in violation of their law. When Christians were arrested during this time, it is written that Christians were prompted to renounce and give sacrifice to the Roman gods in order to live yet, many chose to be martyred instead.

These facts come from a documentary from the History Channel.

How did Romans handle Christians that didn't worship Roman gods?

The ancient Romans typically absorbed the deities and religions of the people they took over, since they perceived that this helped the government remain stable. In 64 AD, however, issues with judaism and the sole god became an issue with the Romans. Nero scapegoated the Christians as causing the Great Fire of Rome and from then on, persecutions of Christians and Jews continued until about the 300s. There were areas where Christians were accepted, and there was no issue.
