All haters of Jesus Christ, God's Son, are persecuters of Christians. Unbelievers do not want to admit or give up their sins and this is what Jesus Christ requires. Christians are followers of Jesus and since Jesus is not on earth at this time unbelievers persecute His followers.
The reason for Nero's persecution of Christians may be attributed to the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD. The city was reduced to rubble and although many thought that Nero may have been responsible for the blaze, a few sources say that Christians may have confessed to the crime, although by free will or by torture is unknown. Because of this, Nero and the community placed the blame on the Christians, and thus they suffered greatly, by being crucified, thrown to dogs, and burned.

The early Christians refused to worship the official gods of Rome.
Nero prosecuted the Christians after the Grreat Fire of Rome in 64 AD.
It is generally agreed that there was no organised, general, centrally directed persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire before the edict of Emperor Decius in 249. This remained in effect until 251 CE. The "great persecution" of Christians was initiated by Emperor Diocletian in 303 CE. It lasted until 305 in the West, but continued until 311 in the East.
Catholicism did not specifically exist during the prosecution times, and nobody even claims they did. However, Christians were quite obviously prosecuted then and this includes the early Catholic church, so it is perfectly fair of them to claim so.
As outside of the ghetto; when people committed crimes, they were prosecuted.

Diocletian launched the Great Persecution of 303-313. It had a number of phases:303-305 Diocletian and Maximian were Augusti (in charge); Galerius and Constantius Chlorus were Caesars (subordinates). All except Contantius Chlorus fully prosecuted the persecution of Christians; Constantius Chlorus participated in a limited way, with destruction of some churches.305-306 Galerius and Constantius Chlorus were Augusti; Maximinus Daia and Flavius Severus were Caesars. All except Constantius Chlorus fully prosecuted the persecution of Christians.306-307 Galerius and Maxentius were Augusti; Maximinus Daia, Constantine and Maxentius were Caesars. All except Constantine fully prosecuted the persecution of Christians.307-311 Galerius, Constantine and Licinius were Augusti; Maximinus Daia was Caesar (there were other complications as well). All except Constantine fully prosecuted the persecution of Christians. Just before he died, Galerius declared that Christians were permitted to return to their religion. This became the policy of the whole.312-313 Maximinus Daia (Augustus from 310) recommenced the persecution of Christians in his realm (Oriens: from the Taurus mountains to Egypt). It came to an end when he was defeated in a civil war by Licinius.In 313, the Roman Empire came under the joint control of Constantine and Licinius. They confirmed Galerius' policy of toleration to Christians. This was contained within the famous Edict of Milan issued by Licinius.Licinius is believed to have recommenced a limited persecution of Christians. This was not like the former occasion, since this attack on Christians can be attributed to political, rather than religious motives. It arose from the situation where the king of Armenia was now an avowed Christian and Constantine was now an avowed Christian, and Licinius and Constantine were rivals for full control of the Empire, and there were troubles on the Armenian frontier.Therefore, technically, Maximinus Daia was the last Roman Emperor to support persecution of Christians.
