The practice of Christianity arose in the 1st century CE in ancient Israel. Christianity was not welcomed by the most of the Romans as many of them opposed it, and wanted it to be terminated. One of them was Pliny, the Roman governor of Pontus/Bithynia from 111-113 AD. In his letter to Emperor Trajan, Pliny addressed how he has dealt with cases where Christians were involved, and how he was unsure if he was doing the correct legal thing. When it came to punishing Christians, Pliny did not know if there were different procedures for Christians of different ages and genders, and to those who claimed to have stopped being Christians. When it came to prosecuting people who were accused of being Christians, Pliny would question them plenty of times
