Why did Rome hate Christians?
It does not appear as if the ancient Romans or the Roman emperors actually hated the Christians. From the time of the first Christian emperor, Constantine, and particularly from the time of Emperor Theodosius, the pagans were persecuted with incredible ferocity by the Christians. Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) says that the Christian writers of the fourth or fifth centuries ascribed to the earlier magistrates of Rome the same degree of implacable and unrelenting zeal which filled their own breasts against the heretics or the idolaters of their own times. In other words, much of the tradition about persecution of the Christians of the early Roman Empire was actually fourth and fifth century propaganda meant to help justify the actions of the Christians against the pagans, and perhaps to ease their consciences.There certainly were periods during which the pagan emperors decreed the persecution of Christians, but scholars say this amounted to a total of around twelve years of persecution - hardly evidence of hatred. At other times, the early Church Fathers exchanged cordial correspondence with the emperors who, in some cases employed Christians in trusted positions on their personal staff. Emperor Philip (244-249) was even rumoured to be a Christian himself, an issue that continues to be debated.

It also added that lands confiscated from the Christians were to be returned and that compensation should be paid. The latter has been called the Edict of Milan (313), but it is not clear whether a formal edict was actually issued.
