Why did Nero start a campaign against Christians?
Nero did not "start a campaign against the Christians." In the aftermath of a devastating fire in Rome in 64 AD, rumor had it that Nero had started the fire. To shift suspicion away from himself, he began arresting Christians. Some of those arrested informed against others and, for a few weeks in the city of Rome itself, Christians were tortured in particularly barbaric ways. The historian Tacitus, in his Annals 15.44, describes the persecution and says that the ferocity of it soon created a backlash of sympathy for the Christians. This persecution was short-lived and did not spread beyond the city of Rome.

Why were Christians in early Rome persecuted?
It is likely that the early Christians in Rome were not popular amongst the ordinary people, or the elite. The Roman were proud of their devotion to the traditional gods: they thought that the gods particularly favoured them, giving them victory in their wars, because the Romans were so "pious." The provocation for the first official persecution of Christians in Rome, according to the Roman historian Tacitus, was that Emperor Nero blamed the Christians for starting the fire of Rome. Tacitus thought that Nero did this in order to deflect criticism from himself. From Tacitus' account the attacks on the Christians continued from here to be a major pogrom against the Christians in the city. Tacitus lamented that Nero's attack came to be seen as Nero's folly, and resulted in the Christians gaining sympathy from the ordinary citizens of Rome.
