Rome's policy towards other religions of the empire was one of toleration and in many cases absorption. Mithraism, the worship of Isis and the Great Mother Cybele were all foreign cults that were imported to Rome. Often times they found similarities between the foreign gods and their own. The only religion or cult that they are known to have not tolerated was the Druids. This was because to the Romans, the Druids with their various authorities over aspects of people's lives were dangerous. They were also repulsed by the Druids' practice of human sacrifice.

How did the Roman Empire treat Christians before the edict of Milan was declared?
The Christians were regarded with suspician. Rome had always been tolerant of various religions, recognising that different regional gods were really the same, just with different names. When Pompey captured Jerusalem, he immediately went to the temple to sacrifice to Jehovah, recognising he was the same as Jupiter/Zeus. They however cracked down on religions which did not use the temples, regarding them as potential plotters, for which the Greeks were notorious. Trajan stopped persecutions, but it returned later in different parts of the Empire where Christians brought suspicion on themselves. The Christians eventually openly declared themselves non-revolutionary, Constantine and Licinius ended retaliation in the Treaty of Milan, and then Constantine co-opted the Christian bishops as a second force to his secular power.
