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.
