The Romans were extremely tolerant of people's religious beliefs. In fact, this was one of the reasons for their great success in keeping the diverse peoples they conquered under their control. The only time they would ban a religion was if they considered the religion to be either decadent or treasonous.

∙ 8y agoFor a number of years in the First Century CE, a couple of Roman emperors (Hadrian and Vespasian) banned the practice of Judaism, at least in Judea. This was as a punishment against the Jews, the majority of whom were very religious. The Romans were attempting to crush the spirit of the Jews after the ill-advised attempts at rebellion by small groups of hotheads who flouted the circumspect advice of the Torah-sages (Talmud, Gittin 56a). Later, in the Fourth Century, Rome adopted Christianity and gradually became less and less tolerant of Judaism.

The Romans never banned the religions of the other peoples of the empire. They tolerated and respected the religions of the conquered peoples. When Christianity spread around the empire, there was a number of persecutions. However, Christianity was never banned. The only instance of banning religions was when mainstream Christianity (the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church) was made the sole legitimate religion of the empire (and therefore the state religion) in the Edict of Thessalonica of 380.The purpose of the edict was to ban dissident Christian doctrines, which were branded as heretic. The dissident sects, particularly Arian Christianity which was popular around the empire, were then persecuted.
