Other information
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.

Why did Romans consider Judaism as a threat?
Normally, the Romans wanted to receive their taxes. That, and making sure none of their colonies planned rebellions, was usually the only thing that they were really concerned about. Judaism itself wasn't generally considered a threat, but Jewish uprisings were. The Zealots (against the advice of the Torah-sages) tried to oust the Romans from Judea around the year 68 CE; and then there was the Bar Kochba revolt around 135 CE. These were a major worry to the Romans.

Ancient religions did not impose their beliefs on others as the later monotheistic Judaism and its offshoots Christianity and Islam do. The Romans recognised that the gods were really the same, just with different local nanes - Jupiter = Zeus = Jehovah. When Pompey captured Jerusalem, he straightway went up to the temple and sacrificed to Jehovah.
