Pliny governor of Asia Minor punished all Christians?
Pliny was the governor of Bithynia and Pontus in Asia Minor, and his letters to the Roman Emperor Trajan indicate that he was given authority to punish Christians (with death) if they admitted to being Christian. Even though his letters give evidence of carrying out this punishment, it is clear that he was reluctant to do so, and that he did not seek out Christians for this purpose. The letters show that a Christian must first be denounced in order to merit Pliny's investigation. We don't have evidence of the overall result of this policy, but it seems unlikely many Christians were brought to trial by Pliny the Younger.
