There may well have been instances when Christians were thrown to the lions and, if so, this would more likely have been during the Great Persecution of Emperor Diocletian, which began in 303 CE and lasted until 305 in the West, but continued until 311 in the East. Edward Gibbon ('The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire'), discussing the problems in sorting fact from legend, says, "The scanty and suspicious materials of ecclesiastical history seldom enable us to dispel the dark cloud that hangs over the first age of the church."

How did the crusades change Europe also include Positive and Negative ways?
Well in a posative way it made people come to peace, understand each other and be more multicultural. However despite the differences they have settled, lots of muslims deni that the crusades ever happened or it wasnt the muslims fault! ( im a christian not trying to be racist). I also learned in school that the pope was telling christians that if you fight you get forgiven, and the muslims were dehuminising the christians... thanx xxx.
