No, the Romans and Jews did not share the same beliefs about God. The Romans practiced polytheism, worshiping multiple gods and goddesses, each associated with different aspects of life and nature. In contrast, the Jews adhered to monotheism, believing in a single, all-powerful God who is unique and transcendent. This fundamental difference in religious belief often led to tensions between the two groups during the Roman rule over Judea.

Very little. The Romans were quite liberal with the Jews, allowing them their freedom of religion and even allowing their temple contributions to pass through to Jerusalem unmolested by tax collectors. They also gave them a wide rang of self-rule even after Judea became a province. However, they would tolerate no revolts or disobedience of Roman law. But this was not anti -semnitism, it was anti-revolution.
Although the Romans were harsh rulers who extracted as much taxation as possible from those under their rule, they were tolerant of other beliefs, such as those of the Jews and, for the most part, those of the early Christians. Because Jewish dietary laws made military service impractical, Rome exempted the Jews from military service.All this changed under Rome's Christian emperors from the fourth century onwards, when Judaism was barely tolerated.

Hyrcanus and Aristobulus, the two sons of the Jewish King Yannai (Johanan Hyrcanus, 1st century BCE), got the Romans involved in Judea when they asked them to settle a dispute. At first the Romans were cordial; and they actually became party to a military treaty with Judea (Talmud, Avodah Zara 8b). The Romans didn't interfere much in Jewish internal matters, because the main thing that they wanted was taxes and a quiet populace.A couple of decades later, however, they unilaterally abrogated the treaty, and placed Roman governors over the land who afflicted the Jews with crushing taxation (Talmud, Yoma 9a).In the first two centuries CE, things got worse, with the Romans destroying Jerusalem and the Second Temple after the Jewish Zealots attempted to revolt. The Romans sold hundreds of thousands of Jews into slavery (Josephus). From time to time they forbade the observance of the Torah-commands, and they killed several of the leading Sages, despite the fact that the Torah-leaders had advised against revolt (Talmud, Gittin 56a).Later, Simeon Bar Kochba led a second revolt, in an ill-advised attempt to recreate the independent Judea. The Romans responded by destroying Betar, and the emperor Hadrian outlawed the practice of Judaism.See also:Jewish history timelineThe Jews and the Romans
