The earliest known reference to Christians is when the Roman emperor, Nero, blamed the Christians of Rome, probably unfairly, for causing the Great Fire of Rome in 64 CE. As a result, he exiled the Christians from Rome. No doubt, the Romans were aware of Paul's evangelising in the eastern empire long before this.

The Romans hated everyone who would not worship their idols. Since Christians did not worship idols, [and since the Romans had Jesus (whom Christians regard as God in human form) crucified], the Romans sent many Christians into the arena to be killed for sport and entertainment.
