Prior to the Fourth Century, Christianity was a minority religion in the Roman Empire. When it became the state religion of the Roman Empire, Christian apologists started using lies in their apologetics arguments to promote their faith.

Everything from Christians being eaten by lions to debauched orgies to slaughter of unbelievers to witch trials to warfare to slavery, all of it was promoted with lies.

christians really were eaten by lions. the empire was fine with you worshipping whatever or whoever you wished, as long as once a year, you could go into the temple and mouth the words that the emperor was in fact god. (this is one of the things that Britannia, otherwise a Donovan-fueled drug orgy of wrong history, actually gets right). Christians could not do this. They were not willing to play that game. And they did get rounded up and fed to lions in the collosseum. they also occasionally got used as human torches for the occasional Nero dinner engagement/book signing.
