Sometimes they faired well, sometimes not. Many great atrocities were waged against any peoples who opposed Caesar. When the Jews were generally "well-behaved" the Romans generally let the live at peace. When they "acted-up" various torturous punishments were devised to humble them. Let's just say, Jesus, a Jew, wasn't killed by the Jews, he was killed by Romans using standard techniques of the day. Do be aware, these techniques were not reserved solely for the Jews. Often the local governors would execute seemingly random mass numbers of the population in order to quell perceived uprisings. There are reports of roads lined with crosses stretching from one city to another.
The Jews rebelled against Roman rule in Palestine.

There were Jews, mostly elite men who endorsed Roman rule. They had already endorsed Greek rule before the arrival of the Romans and had become Hellenised (had adopted Greek customs). This was resented by Jews who were more faithful to their religion and had already caused conflict among the Jews before the Romans. Many Jews resented Roman rule. Taxation was a main grievance. There was the political movement of the Zealots, which during the Great Revolt or First Roman-Jewish War, advocated rebelling against the Romans and expelling them from the Judea by force. The sicarii was a splinter group of the Zealots who also wanted to expel the Romans.
It could not decline from nothing - it did not exist until after much of what was to become the Roman empire was already under Roman rule. It spread, particularly after the Romans accepted Christianity under Constantine
Actually they were not tolerant and forbade the public teaching of the Jewish bible and the law. Many well known Rabbinical leaders such as Rabbi Akiva were executed. Additionally, Pilate, who had control of the region, was infamous for his extreme cruelty. Under his rule, over 10,000 Jews were crucified.

The Jews resented Roman rule because it inhibited the liberties and freedom they would otherwise have had. Justice was cruel in those days and the Romans would take harsh measures to bring any area into conformity. Actual Roman law was relativelycivilized, as I understand it. But enforcing violations of the law was often very cruel and harsh and somewhat arbitrary.You and I would resent it very much if our society remained intact while a foreign-based layer of government was added on top. This was the situation with the Jews under Roman rule.

Under Roman and Byzantine rule, Jews were banned from Jerusalem. Between 614 and 629, the Persian Empire controlled the city, briefly, and permitted Jews to return. In 638, the Arab Caliphate took control and allowed the Jews to return. Under Arab and Fatimid rule, Christians continued to prosper in Jerusalem, until 1033, when the Fatimid Caliph ordered all churches destroyed. When the Crusaders captured Jerusalem in 1099, they massacred most of the Jews and Muslims.
