A:Generally speaking, no. Certainly, Nero expelled the Christians from Rome, but this was on the accusation that they started the Great Fire, not because of their worship. They soon returned and by the third century, there were several grand churches in Rome: certain evidence against the need to worship in secret. Nevertheless there were short periods, especially under Emperor Decius and again in the early fourth century, when Christianity was proscribed and Christians probably had to worship in secret.

What event led to the persecution of christians in rome?

Emperor Nero of the Julian-Claudian Reign started a fire in Rome and blamed it on the Christians. He used them as scapegoats in order to persecute them because The Patricians, or wealthy class, were atracted to Christianity and if they became Christian they would not "worship" or respect the Emperor because Christians only worship the one true God, and Patricians were the Emperor's power source.
