Diocletian persecution under Decius was some of the harshest in the empire's history. He issued edicts that took away the Christians' rights as citizens, and forced them to pledge to worship the Roman religion. They were forced to make sacrifices to Roman gods or face death. Christians were purged from the Roman army.

What is the difference between Christianity and other monotheistic religions?

Christianity was God's attempt to bring the Law to the Pagans of Europe. It presented itself as the culmination of European Pagan beliefs, and it social structure is that of Hellenistic Civilization.
