History is written by the victors. After Constantine's victory in 312 AD began also the victory of Christianity over classical greco-roman polytheism. Thus, the way how people have thought about the Christian persecutions in the early roman empire, was heavily influenced by Christian writers, such as Eusebius, Lactantius, Augustinus of Hippo and others. While the writings of non Christian authors were systematically destroyed by early Christian mobs since burnings of pagan books was very commonplace after Constantine's victory. Now let us all collectively think: Do you think the Christian writers were neutral on the topic of persecutions, or might it be that the persecution of Christianity had been greatly exaggerated for propagandistic purposes, and the ensuing persecution and systematic destructon of greco-roman polytheism might have been downplayed? Newer evidence shows that anti-Christian persecutions were acutally quite rare and much smaller in scope than previously thought, while anti-pagan persecutions after Constantine, his sons, Theodosius and later emperors, were so profound, that most works of Pagan authors were wiped out, and many ancient shrines, temples and works of antiquity were utterly eradicated from the face of the earth. Now you make your own conclusion about who was likely persecuted more.
