Honestly the romans were very unfair evil people. It was all about power and forcibly having people change their religions to serve their gods. Even now its still like that. Anyhow, to answer your question: Judging from the bible and Jewish history, the romans were absolutely ruthless to them. The Jewish people tried rebelling or protesting against them but it would ultimately lead to the romans murdering their people or robbing their precious items in their holy temples for their God. Many of the temples were destroyed and some cities too. It was dark times for the Israelites.
