The last persecution of Christians (303-311) and the worse one, is attributed to the emperor Diocletian. However, there was the work of his co-emperor Galerius behind it. Galerius was a fiercer persecutor than Diocletian. This is the only persecution of Christians which has Benn called Great Persecution.
The Gladiatorial games and Gladiator history ended during the reign of the Emperor Honorius.
The answer is probably too complex for a quick "WikiAnswer." Here's a brief summary. Various (non-Christian) commentators describe with fair believability the conditions in the Empire under various emperors. Starting with Nero (54-68 C.E.), most did not persecute Christians specifically, but rather targeted all groups that were seen as subversive. Christians were certainly part of that, but most emperors did not specifically seek out Christians. By the time of Diocletian (284-305) the imperial attitude towards groups like the Christians was quite mellow. Diocletian, however, had a personal problem with Christians, and under his reign there was a final Great Persecution. Just how many died isn't clear, and estimates range from maybe 2,000 (Origen) to over 100,000. Diocletian's 21 year reign ended with a confused welter of successors who ruled each for a few months at most, followed by Constantine the Great who became emperor in 306. In 311 his co-emperor Galerius stopped imperial persecution of Christians. A year or so later Constantine declared himself Christian and issued the Edict of Milan, which not only declared toleration for Christians, but reversed all judgments against Christians for their religion, including returning confiscated property. As the first Christian emperor of Rome, Constantine was also the first Christian emperor to go to war against other Christians over a difference in beliefs.

He was the Roman Emperor who ended Christian persecution and declared Christianity the religion of Rome
The emperor Nero was said to have persecuted the Christans in 64. There were executions in the Decian persecution by the emperor Decius of 250 and in the persecution by the emperor Valerian from 257 to 259. The worse persecution was under the emperor Diocletian, who unleashed the Great Persecution of 305-313.
You may mean the Diocletianic persecution. If so, it is the persecution of Christians by the Roman Emperor Diocletian (ruled from 284 to 305 AD).
St. Nicholas of Myra did not escape from prison. When the persecution of Christians by Roman Emperor Diocletian ended and Constantine the Great became emperor in the year 306 he and all imprisoned Christians were released from prison.

No. There was never an emperor named Cato.

None. Christianity was insulated from persecution then.
