Nero punished a race of men who were hated for their evil practices. These men were called Christians. He got a number of people to confess (to the fire). On their evidence a number of Christians were convicted and put to death with dreadful cruelty. Some were covered with the skins of wild beasts and left to be eaten by dogs. Others were nailed to the cross. Many were burned alive and set on fire to serve as torches at night."
