they hated it and would do everything to stop itAt the dawn of Christianity after Jesus died, the Romans hated the Christians. They wanted all of the Christian to suffer and die for voicing their faith that was believed by the Romans to be false.

Rome is important in Christianity because when the Romans converted to Christianity, they insisted on making Rome the centre of Christianity. Originally the true centre of Christianity is in constantinople. This action by the Romans caused what is known as a schism in Christianity. The first schism where it was split into roman catholics and Russian orthodox denominations.
At first it was the Roman Catholic branch and then came the Eastern Orthodox.
At first the Romans considered Christianity a Jewish sect. When it officially split from Judaism it was considered a subversive sect due to the Christians' refusal to offer sacrifices for the good of the empire.At first the Romans considered Christianity a Jewish sect.

There wasn't a specific "first branch" associated with Christianity. The disciples preached to the Jews about Jesus. Then the disciples went all around the world starting churches. However, there are 3 major branches of Christianity. These branches include:Eastern OrthodoxyProtestantismRoman CatholicismMany people believe there to be only 1 form of Christianity. This may be true, but Christianity has branches!
We do not know how or when Christianity first arrived in Rome, but Paul's Epistle to the Romans demonstrates a flourishing Christian community existed there when he proposed his visit to Rome, on his way to Spain.
Mostly as a threat. They tried moving the people away to stop it, but it only spread.
They reacted harshly against any religion which they considered was promoting revolution. First it was the Bacchanalians in the Second Century BCE. Later th Christians came under suspicion, as unlike honest worshipers who went to temples they met in private houses and had cannibalistic ceremonies of eating human flesh and drinking human blood. This sort of activities smacked of conspirators committing sacrileges so that they could not rat on each other as they faced the death penalty for the sacrilege. Also they were the Nazorean sect of Judaism until the Jews expelled them in the 90s CE to avoid Roman suspicion of them as well as the Christians. The results were the purges.
The earliest records would suggest the Romans brought the religion to Britain.
