Explain the Persecution Under Nero and Domitian

The persecution of Christians occurred, sporadically and usually locally, throughout the Roman Empire, beginning in the 1st century AD and ending in the 4th century AD. Originally a polytheistic empire in the traditions of Roman paganism and the Hellenistic religion, as Christianity spread through the empire, it came into ideological conflict with the imperial cult of ancient Rome. Pagan practices such as making sacrifices to the deified emperors or other gods were abhorrent to Christians as their beliefs prohibited idolatry. The state and other members of civic society punished Christians for treason, various rumored crimes, illegal assembly, and for introducing an alien cult that led to Roman apostasy.

The first, localized Neronian persecution occurred under the emperor Nero (r. 54–68) in Rome. A more general persecution occurred during the reign of Marcus Aurelius (r. 161–180).[1] After a lull, persecution resumed under the emperors Decius (r. 249–251) and Trebonianus Gallus (r. 251–253). The Decian persecution was particularly extensive. The persecution of Emperor Valerian (r. 253–260) ceased with his notable capture by the Sasanian Empire's Shapur I (r. 240–270) at the Battle of Edessa during the Roman–Persian Wars. His successor Gallienus (r. 253–268) halted the persecutions.

His successor Gallienus (r. 253–268) halted the persecutions.

The Augustus Diocletian (r. 283–305) began the Diocletianic persecution, the final general persecution of Christians, which continued to be enforced in parts of the empire until the Augustus Galerius (r. 310–313) issued the Edict of Serdica and the Augustus Maximinus Daia (r. 310–313) died. After Constantine the Great (r. 306–337) defeated his rival Maxentius (r. 306–312) at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in October 312, Licinius and his co-emperor Constantine issued the Edict of Milan (313), which allowed tolerance of all religions including Christianity.

The Wedding Dance int
The Dance
Pieter Brueghel, Kermesse (1567-8)
William Carlos Williams
Oil on canvas, approximately 45 inches x 64.5 inches Kunsthistorisches Museum,
23
In Brueghel's great picture, The Kermess,
the dancers go round, they go round and
around, the squeal and the blare and the
tweedle of bagpipes, a bugle and fiddles
tipping their bellies (round as the thick-
sided glasses whose wash they impound)
their hips and their bellies off balance
to turn them. Kicking and rolling
about the Fair Grounds, swinging their butts, those
shanks must be sound to bear up under such
rollicking measures, prance as they dance
in Brueghel's great picture, The Kermess.

All crocodilians are reptiles with long
snouts, long tails, four short legs,
tough skin, and sharp teeth. Members
of the crocodilian family include
alligators, crocodiles, caimans, and
gavials. Crocodilians live in
weather throughout the year and they
spend part of their time in the water
and part of their time on land. Almost
all crocodilians grow to be very large,
with the largest more than twenty feet
long. There are two kinds of alligators,
14 kinds of crocodiles, eight kinds of
caimans, and one kind of gavial.

Recently, scientists have gained an
understanding of a crocodile's
reproductive activity. Crocodiles mate
in the water, where the buoyancy
keeps them from crushing each other.
Prior to mating, there are stylized
postures, jumping, submerged bubble
blowing, and snout contact. After
mating, hard-shelled eggs are laid in a
nest, in a hole scooped in the sand.
When it is time to hatch, the infant
crocodiles begin a loud chirping sound
that leads the female to the nest,
