EARLY 
CHRISTIANS 
IN ANCIENT 
ROME
Christianity began in the Roman Empire. 
When Christianity was new, Christians were 
hunted as criminals. They refused to 
worship Roman gods and that was against 
the law.
Emperor Nero 
persecuted 
Christians at first. 
He ordered that 
Christians should be 
rounded up and 
killed. Some were 
torn apart by dogs, 
others burnt alive as 
human torches.
Who were the first Christians? 
While some Christians were rich, most of the converts in 
Rome were from the poorer section. A former slave who 
had worked the mines actually became the bishop of Rome 
-- Callistus in 217. 
There were two reasons for this.. 
First, Christians promised that if you lived your life right you 
went to heaven when you died. In the other Roman 
religion, only the gods could live in heaven. Everyone else 
was consigned to the underworld. 
Second, every Christian considered themselves equal to 
every other Christian. There was no nobility or higher 
caste.
The first Christians didn´t have church 
buildings to meet. The met mostly in homes. 
The first Christians 
burried the dead in the 
catacombs. Catacombs 
are subterranean 
cementeries. The biggest 
is called The Catcomb of 
St. Callixtus.
In 313 AD, Emperor Constantine converted 
to Christianity and made Christianity legal. 
Under his leadership, Christians could no 
longer be arrested just for being 
Christian. After a fairly short period of time, 
Christianity became the dominate religion of 
Rome. 
After that, it became the law that you must 
be Christian to be a citizen of Rome.
St. Felicity and St. Perpetua 
Twenty-two-year-old Perpetua was 
the daughter of a rich pagan (did not 
believe in God) nobleman. While 
growing up, she had been given 
everything she had ever wanted. 
But then she converted and became 
a Christian. She realized that she 
loved Jesus and her Christian faith 
more than anything the world could 
offer. For this she found herself a 
prisoner on the way to execution (to 
be killed).
St. Felicity and St. Perpetua 
Perpetua's father did everything possible to 
persuade his daughter to give up her 
Christian faith. He tried to convince her of 
the importance of saving her life. But she 
would not give in, even though she knew 
that she would have to leave behind her 
husband and baby.
St. Felicity and St. Perpetua 
Felicity, Perpetua's maid, who had 
earlier been a slave, also became a 
Christian. She and Perpetua were 
great friends. They shared their belief 
in and love for Jesus. Felicity, too, was 
willing to sacrifice her life for Jesus 
and for her faith. For this she also 
found herself a prisoner on the way to 
execution.
St. Felicity and St. Perpetua 
Hand in hand, Perpetua and Felicity bravely faced 
martyrdom together. They marched from their cells into the 
amphitheater, as if into heaven, with cheerful looks and 
graceful bearing. If they trembled it was for joy and not for 
fear. 
The people, demanded that the martyrs be led to the 
middle of the amphitheater where they could see them die. 
Without being asked they went where the people wanted 
them to go; but first they kissed one another, to complete 
their witness with the customary kiss of peace. Then they 
were charged and attacked by wild animals and later 
beheaded. 
Bravest and happiest martyrs! They died in the year 203.

First christans in Rome

  • 1. EARLY CHRISTIANS IN ANCIENT ROME
  • 2. Christianity began in the Roman Empire. When Christianity was new, Christians were hunted as criminals. They refused to worship Roman gods and that was against the law.
  • 3. Emperor Nero persecuted Christians at first. He ordered that Christians should be rounded up and killed. Some were torn apart by dogs, others burnt alive as human torches.
  • 4. Who were the first Christians? While some Christians were rich, most of the converts in Rome were from the poorer section. A former slave who had worked the mines actually became the bishop of Rome -- Callistus in 217. There were two reasons for this.. First, Christians promised that if you lived your life right you went to heaven when you died. In the other Roman religion, only the gods could live in heaven. Everyone else was consigned to the underworld. Second, every Christian considered themselves equal to every other Christian. There was no nobility or higher caste.
  • 5. The first Christians didn´t have church buildings to meet. The met mostly in homes. The first Christians burried the dead in the catacombs. Catacombs are subterranean cementeries. The biggest is called The Catcomb of St. Callixtus.
  • 6. In 313 AD, Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity and made Christianity legal. Under his leadership, Christians could no longer be arrested just for being Christian. After a fairly short period of time, Christianity became the dominate religion of Rome. After that, it became the law that you must be Christian to be a citizen of Rome.
  • 7. St. Felicity and St. Perpetua Twenty-two-year-old Perpetua was the daughter of a rich pagan (did not believe in God) nobleman. While growing up, she had been given everything she had ever wanted. But then she converted and became a Christian. She realized that she loved Jesus and her Christian faith more than anything the world could offer. For this she found herself a prisoner on the way to execution (to be killed).
  • 8. St. Felicity and St. Perpetua Perpetua's father did everything possible to persuade his daughter to give up her Christian faith. He tried to convince her of the importance of saving her life. But she would not give in, even though she knew that she would have to leave behind her husband and baby.
  • 9. St. Felicity and St. Perpetua Felicity, Perpetua's maid, who had earlier been a slave, also became a Christian. She and Perpetua were great friends. They shared their belief in and love for Jesus. Felicity, too, was willing to sacrifice her life for Jesus and for her faith. For this she also found herself a prisoner on the way to execution.
  • 10. St. Felicity and St. Perpetua Hand in hand, Perpetua and Felicity bravely faced martyrdom together. They marched from their cells into the amphitheater, as if into heaven, with cheerful looks and graceful bearing. If they trembled it was for joy and not for fear. The people, demanded that the martyrs be led to the middle of the amphitheater where they could see them die. Without being asked they went where the people wanted them to go; but first they kissed one another, to complete their witness with the customary kiss of peace. Then they were charged and attacked by wild animals and later beheaded. Bravest and happiest martyrs! They died in the year 203.
