Historians tell us that the Roman emperors preferred to ignore the Christians and had no interest in Jesus. It was only when the Christians began to appear disloyal to the empire that widespread official persecutions began. Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) says that Christian traditions about centuries of pagan persecution arose in the fourth and fifth centuries, when the Christian Church sought to justify its own persecution of the pagan temples.
