The Romans hated everyone who would not worship their idols. Since Christians did not worship idols, [and since the Romans had Jesus (whom Christians regard as God in human form) crucified], the Romans sent many Christians into the arena to be killed for sport and entertainment.
mainly Lions
well, they could be thrown to the lions or other harsh punishments :(
Crucified, thrown to the lions, it is thought that St. Paul was beheaded.
In ancient Rome, Christians were often used as scapegoats for various societal issues, including political unrest and natural disasters. They faced persecution and were frequently blamed for the decline of traditional Roman values, which led to widespread martyrdom. Additionally, during certain periods, Christians were exploited for entertainment, such as being thrown to wild animals in the arena. Despite this, their steadfastness in faith eventually contributed to the spread and establishment of Christianity throughout the empire.
They used to throw Christians to the lions there.
The Romans punished Christians through methods such as imprisonment, torture, and execution. Christians were often subjected to brutal forms of punishment, including being thrown to wild animals in arenas or being burned alive. The Roman authorities viewed Christianity as a threat to their societal order and punished those who did not renounce their faith.
Christians are still suffering discrimination, especially in Middle Eastern countries. There are several countries where you can be legally thrown in prison or killed if you are found to be a Christian.

Unfortunately, yes, Christians are persecuted in the modern world. Of course they are not thrown to the lions or crucified, but in many countries that have a state religion or are atheistic, they are persecuted economically, educationally, and their civil and religious rights are restricted.
