Roman Religion

Christianity and Judaism: monotheistic

Romans had many gods, plus at times th emperor was viewed as a god

AD 66: a group of Jews called the Zealots tried to rebel, but Roman troops put them down and burned them

Persecution of Christians, Romans were harsh toward those who would not worship the emperor

Christians were considered a cult at the beginning, often used for entertainment but even though this was happening Christians grew quickly

We have a test tomorrow!!! Multiple Choice
