Why no interest in Judaism?

I'm not sure why you think there's no interest in Judaism. Read any newspaper and you will see that Israel is mentioned nearly every single day. Jewish schools are all packed to the brim and new ones open every year. More and more Jews are returning to practice authentic Judaism after them or their parents (or grandparents) were distracted by materialism, or other "isms". Even the WikiAnswers Judaism category is growing daily. :-)


Why is Judaism so much smaller numerically than the other two religions?

Lots of reasons. One is that Judaism doesn't believe in encouraging people to convert. If someone wants to convert to Judaism, they're welcome to (although discouraged at first), but Judaism has no mass programs to get people to convert. Nor did it usually have forced conversions like the other religions did. Another reason is that Jews have been heavily persecuted over the years and many were killed.

What religions were the Romans tolerant of and why?

The Romans required the conquered peoples to worship the Roman gods, although they were also free to worship their own gods as well. They made an exception to this requirement for Judaism because the Jews were monotheistic, and therefore could not worship other gods, and because of the perceived antiquity of Judaism. Early Christianity, until at least 90 CE, was seen as a sect of Judaism, to this privilege was extended to Christianity.
