Roman religion involved emperor worship, and the Jews did not bow down to, nor did they worship, any human being-- not even an emperor. Some of the Roman emperors were very angry about this, and demanded that the Jews submit themselves to Roman rule and worship the Roman deities. While most Jews living in the Roman Empire did agree to follow Roman law, they would not follow Roman religious practices. Many who refused to worship the emperor were punished-- some were imprisoned, some were tortured, some were crucified.
Answer:
About 65 years after they destroyed the Second Temple, the Romans under Hadrian for a few years decreed it illegal for the Jews to learn the Torah or keep its commands. It was at this time that they killed Rabbi Akiva and several leading sages with torture, along with thousands of other Jews. But the stiff-necked Jews refused to abandon their religion. As Hecateus had famously said in an earlier such occurrence:
Hecateus declares again, "what regard we (Jews) have for our laws; and we resolve to endure anything rather than transgress them." And he adds: "They [Jews] may be stripped on this account, and have torments inflicted upon them, and be brought to the most terrible kinds of death, but they meet these tortures after an extraordinary manner, beyond all other people, and will not renounce the religion of their forefathers."
