Christians refused to worship the emperor as a god and would not participate in the pagan state religions. Also Christians were critical of Roman entertainments such as orgies and violent forms of entertainment. Christians predicted (and perhaps caused) the fall of the Roman empire.

Lucretius was a Roman poet and philosopher known for his epic poem "De Rerum Natura" (On the Nature of Things), which presented the teachings of Epicureanism. He explored themes such as the nature of the universe, the atomic theory of matter, and the pursuit of a tranquil life through the avoidance of desires and fears. His work had a significant influence on later philosophers and thinkers.
The phrase "Mihi cura futuri," which translates to "I care for the future," is attributed to the Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius. It encapsulates his philosophical views on the importance of understanding the nature of existence and the future. Lucretius is best known for his epic poem "De Rerum Natura" (On the Nature of Things), which explores Epicurean philosophy and the nature of the universe.

Lucretius, an ancient Roman philosopher, poet, and Epicurean, made significant contributions to the development of atomic theory by proposing that all matter is composed of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms. His work in the poem "De Rerum Natura" helped influence later scientific thought on the nature of matter and the universe. Lucretius laid the foundation for modern atomic theory by advocating for the existence of atoms and their role in creating the observable world.
