The Christians were not considered enemies of the Roman Empire. What was questioned was their loyalty to the imperial government, rather that their loyalty to the empire as such. Most Christians were citizens of the Roman Empire who converted from paganism to Christianity.

Why did Romans officials consider christins enemies?

Christians were not really viewed as enemies, but they incurred the displeasure of the pagan Roman government because they did not seem entirely loyal. The emperors were concerned that Christians could not be relied upon to do what the government required, preferring to accept the authority of their own bishops instead, and thus fostering disunity in the empire. Nevertheless, the government generally preferred to ignore the Christians, and there were really only two brief periods of official persecution - 249 to 251, and 303 to 311.
