Although the Romans were harsh rulers who extracted as much taxation as possible from those under their rule, they were tolerant of other beliefs, such as those of the Jews and, for the most part, those of the early Christians. Because Jewish dietary laws made military service impractical, Rome exempted the Jews from military service.
All this changed under Rome's Christian emperors from the fourth century onwards, when Judaism was barely tolerated.

∙ 9y agoHyrcanus and Aristobulus, the two sons of the Jewish King Yannai (Johanan Hyrcanus, 1st century BCE), got the Romans involved in Judea when they asked the Romans to settle a dispute. At first the Romans were cordial; and they actually became party to a military treaty with Judea (Talmud, Avodah Zara 9a). A couple of decades later, however, they unilaterally abrogated the treaty, and placed Roman governors over the land who afflicted the Jews with crushing taxation (Talmud, Yoma 9a). In the first two centuries CE, things got worse, with the Romans destroying the Second Temple and temporarily outlawing Torah-observances, and the Jews attempting to revolt. The Romans destroyed large numbers of Jewish communities in the Holy Land.

Their attitude was extreme. They did not welcome people of other religious beliefs.
