Until Christianity became a tolerated (and then the "official") religion in the Roman Empire, Christians were persecuted in various ways. Perhaps the most famous form of persecution was the use of Christians in public spectacles: here, they were condemned to death by being "thrown to the beasts" in arenas designed for the entertainment of Roman citizens.
