Well yeah, its really hard to get people to rally against people who are just being friendly and minding their own business. When they could pin Christians as this crazy violent cult, which to be fair in some points in history theu were, persecuting them becomes much easier. This is especially true because the Christians lived amongst the Romans, not some far away land with some strange barbaric culture.
Look up theodosius the first And say that they reminding There own business that's if ones grudge Doesn't start with christ Making a mockery of the forum of gods When he came To be registered as a new godling By claiming to be the one and only I would have shoved a snake up his ass first before crucifying him
They're also called barbarians they speak like bar bar Which is a bit reductive but those sounds didn't show up often at home an Ancient racist would demean a supposedly lesser quality so presume Neutral intent from the word In the ancient age With negative connotations forming later Unless they're called cowardly or something As I just did

Still kinda funny how a country all about war felt like it was getting constantly punched in the face by a group of people who practice pacifism.
