The Roman people were an extremely cruel people. Their punishments for crimes were severe and swift. The Romans wrongly accused Christians of crimes they did not actually commit.
Certain symbols in Christianity, such as partaking of the blood and body of Christ and brotherly love confused the Romans and made them think Christians were perverted and blood thirsty. Romans considered Christians as superstitious. Romans did not care for Christians and used them as scapegoats and punished them severely.
Being persecuted and blamed for things that they did not do, is something that still happens today. Many groups are used as scapegoats for problems that they had nothing to do with.
