The Romans rarely persecuted Christians and certainly never as a empire wide policy . Hell many governors had no policy on Christians or even knew what a Christian was.  As for martyrs most of those are fabrications or were stolen from the Jews and the few cases that could be legit were Christians not being persecuted . And Tacitus writings are contradicted by his contemporaries who don't mention a persecution and certainly not the feeding to the lion etc .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
