Christians remained faithful to Jesus Christ.

Nero’s persecution (after the Great Fire of Rome, 64 AD) led to arrests, torture and public executions of many Christians. Rather than organizing an army or fleeing en masse, the brutality produced many martyrs and helped strengthen Christian identity; while some individuals may have recanted to save their lives, the overall effect was perseverance and increased cohesion of the Christian community.
