who were brought before him, by feeding them to the lions
except for Roman citizens, whom he freed
if they did not offer prayers to the Roman emperor and curse Christ
in his province, dispatching his army on a massive manhunt of all major cities

Answer 1

Pliny, governor of Asia Minor, punished all Christians "if they did not offer prayers to the Roman emperor and curse Christ," although it should be noted that this is contested, and it is likely that Pliny killed many Christians regardless of if they "repented" or not.
