Some Roman emperors were worried about the loyalty of the Christians to the Roman state. The Romans saw Roman religion as an integral part of the Roman state. The Christians were converting Romans to their religion. The emperor Decius ordered everyone in the empire to perform sacrifices in honour to the Roman gods to prove their loyalty to the state.
