<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cachecoins, post: 4791378, member: 111237&quot;]Very good point. I think the Romans were quite open minded to other religions but other religions at the time were more often similar to thier own. Christianity was something all together new to them with different practices, some of which put them at odds with the state. I think it was how new it was, how it was a religion without a state or a home and some of its practices that made them suspicious of the religion.</p><p><br /></p><p>However I do think that Decius was probably ignorant of the details and probably had no idea how his proclamation would cause such turmoil in that community. In fact...he was a busy man...he may not known it DID cause turmoil. I think the only reason for the proclamation was to assure the loyalty of the people in a time of turmoil.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
