Christians refused to worship Roman gods.
The two Flavian emperors who did not persecute Christians are Vespasian and Titus. Vespasian ruled from 69 to 79 AD and focused on restoring stability to the empire after the civil wars, while Titus, who reigned from 79 to 81 AD, is often remembered for his generosity, especially during the disasters of Pompeii and the Roman fire. Neither of these emperors is known for actively targeting Christians in their policies.
When Christianity was endorsed by the Christian Romans Emperors, these emperors appointed Christian senators.
Yes, the Moors did persecute the Early Christians.
According to the story, the Christians were used as scapegoats because of accusations that Nero had started the great fire of Rome
Some Roman emperors were worried about the loyalty of the Christians to the Roman state. The Romans saw Roman religion as an integral part of the Roman state. The Christians were converting Romans to their religion. The emperor Decius ordered everyone in the empire to perform sacrifices in honour to the Roman gods to prove their loyalty to the state. The Christians refused to do so because they abhorred sacrifices and because they saw this as a betrayal of their god. Many Christians were executed. The emperor Valerian took a similar action. Later the emperor Diocletian unleashed the biggest persecution, again because he saw the Christians as a threat to the state.

It is not clear that the Romans persecuted Jews more than Christians. Under some emperors, Christians were heavily persecuted, under others, Jews. During the great Jewish revolts that started in the years 68 and 132, Roman persecution of the Jews was intense. The emperor Hadrian, who put down the second revolt, probably killed half a million Jews in the process. Nero, on the other hand, seems to have really disliked Christians.

although Vespasian and Titus crushed the Great Jewish Revolt, retook Jerusalem and destroyed the temple, and took revenge on the Jews, they did not persecute the Christians and were benign rulers Eusebius of Caesarea (263-339 AD) claimed that Domitian (ruled 81-96 AD) heavily persecuted the Christians. However, there are no contemporary accounts of anything like this.
There were no emperors persecuting the Christians in 64 AD. This is a misconception. 64 was the year of the Great Fire of Rome and the emperor Nero was in power. Nero did not persecute the Christians for their religion. Nero punished the Christians for the crime of arson. After the outrage died down, the Christians were free to worship as they saw fit.
Christ-Christians
The reason for Nero's persecution of Christians may be attributed to the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD. The city was reduced to rubble and although many thought that Nero may have been responsible for the blaze, a few sources say that Christians may have confessed to the crime, although by free will or by torture is unknown. Because of this, Nero and the community placed the blame on the Christians, and thus they suffered greatly, by being crucified, thrown to dogs, and burned.
Definitely not. Though a lot of Romans became Christians and abandoned all material wealth, causing a loss of taxes, the Romans were definitely not lazy. The Emperors were of poor quality though. After Constantine, when the Empire split, the Emperors were not as good as they were during the prime of the Roman Empire.
