As far as religion--Ehrman talks about this in your textbook, - so I won't go into a lot of detail-- but the common Hollywood idea that the Romans were kind of oppressive of other religions, or the Christians, is just that, a Hollywood idea.

至于宗教。。。Ehrman教授在课本里讲得很详细了，我就不再赘述了-,不过好莱坞电影里常常,描绘罗马人压迫其他宗教，或者基督教徒，这只是好莱坞电影。
