Roman Christians were persecuted because they were Gnostics, not because they were followers of Jesus Christ whom they did not even know. The Emperors did not tolerate them because they themselves could ascend to God through gnosis, to rise to the level of a God. Imagine, an Emperor would never have accepted this axiom. Then they built a sand castle on top of it. But the traces are evident, they still exist, you just have to go to Rome and look at things with the appropriate knowledge.
This documentary is very interesting, unfortunately in English. It seems to me that Roman Christianity was born Gnostic and only Gnostic, from what can be deduced from the catacombs of Rome and their symbolism. For example, the symbolism of Jonah and the Whale represents the cycle of spiritual development. Jonah and the Whale would be the original biblical story from which Collodi's Pinocchio and Melville's Moby Dick were extrapolated. Jonah swallowed by the whale, Jonah spat out by the whale and finally Jonah on land represent a very strong Masonic symbolism, the lack of knowledge will first kill you, when you begin your journey in Gnostic science the same knowledge will make you come out of the belly of the whale (understood as ignorance or absence of God) and finally it will make you reach dry and salvific lands. Translated, help yourself, that God helps you.
