Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(5 pp) Rome sporadically persecuted the Christians
for about three hundred years of their rule. We
could almost wonder if it gave leadership something
to do once they felt they had conquered as much
territory as possible, as the intensity of that
persecution seemed to depend on the whims of the
leader of the moment. There are few who would say
that Hitler was whimsical in his treatment of the
Jews. There is no doubt that both involved major
persecutions: this discussion will compare and
contrast some of the elements involved in both
periods of history.

move, and since that was by foot, and sometimes by fury; we know that the time period of expansion was much greater. The inhabitants of a region, based in
a domestic economy, may not have even been aware of the Legions approach. We could say that Hitler made a similar geographic expansion, even though he moved more
rapidly. Even though we are comparing a government with an individual we could say that both wanted to dominate their known world. Rome saw the Christians as "rabble-rousers," or a
political threat to their way of life and governmental organization. It was also loyalty to the old gods that the Christians threatened, and it was perceived that the peace
of the Empire rested upon peace with the gods. Although it is tempting, to make the argumentative stretch, and substitute the regime of an individual for the attitude that
was expressed by Rome in the persecution of the Christians, it must be recognized that motivations involved were of a different nature. Rome felt that it was protecting a way
of life. Hitler felt a need to exterminate a way of life, to be able to substitute another way of life, which he felt was superior. We
