Yeah, my apologies for the mishap, I was referring to the one between 303-313, which is what I'm assuming you've answered. Thanks, by the way. My takeaway is:
Persecuted because they were endangering Rome by not partaking in events honouring the Roman Gods.
The fact that Roman society was hierarchical rather than egalitarian. This part I'm a little foggy on, if you wouldn't mind shedding some more light, why was this a reason for persecution?
And it wasn't religious discrimination but rather persecuting "criminals" for breaking the law – the law being that they had to worship the Gods for their grace upon the empire.
