I don't know of any pasecutor but the first persecutions include: 1. Persecution under Nero (c. 64-68). Traditional martyrdoms of Peter and Paul. 2. Persecution under Domitian (r. 81-96). 3. Persecution under Trajan (112-117). Christianity is outlawed but Christians are not sought out. 4. Persecution under Marcus Aurelius (r. 161-180). Martyrdom of Polycarp. 5. Persecution under Septimus Severus (202-210). Martyrdom of Perpetua. 6. Persecution under Decius (250-251). Christians are actively sought out by requiring public sacrifice. Could buy certificates (libelli) instead of sacrificing. Martyrdoms of bishops of Rome, Jerusalem and Antioch. 7. Persecution under Valerian (257-59). Martyrdoms of Cyprian of Carthage and Sixtus II of Rome. 8. Persecution under Maximinus the Thracian (235-38). Great Fire of Rome The Fire of Rome. Illustration from Foxe's Book of Martyrs. 9. Persecution under Aurelian (r. 270–275). 10. Severe persecution under Diocletian and Galerius (303-324). read more here: Persecution in the Early Church |
