∙ 14y ago
Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) says that in spite of repeated uprisings, the Jews were treated with tolerance by the pagan emperors.
Under the reign of Constantine, Jews became the subjects of persecution and before long they experienced the bitterness of domestic tyranny. The civil immunities which they had been granted were gradually repealed by the Christian emperors. Lucrative modes of oppression were invented by the bishops and court eunuchs in the time of Constantine's son Constantius.
