The two emperors who tried to restore order in the Roman Empire were Diocletian and Constantine I (or the Great).
One way that Diocletian tried to save the Roman Empire was by dividing the Empire into two halves, West and East.

The Roman Baths in Bath were discovered when someone found a large leak in their basement and tried to find out what it was. They then found a small part of the roman baths in their basement! The houses were knocked down and the Roman Baths were restored and became a popular tourist attraction.
The Huns did not conquer the Roman Empire. They raided the eastern part of the empire three times, tried to invade Gaul but were repelled, and tried to invade to Italy, but had to give up because of a famine in Italy and because the Roman army attacked their homeland. It was said that some Gallo-Romans did not mind the conquests by the Germanic peoples because they were unhappy with the Roman state's oppressive taxation regime.
In the king James version* Mat 27:2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. * Luk 3:1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,The Roman Governor who tried Jesus on Pontious Pilot. Jesus was later crucified even though he did absolutely nothing wrong.The Roman official who tried Jesus was Pontius Pilate.Pontius Pilate was the Procurator of Judea. During his tenure there, he was faced with the problem of Jesus. The Jewish leaders in Jerusalem believed that Jesus was a false "God" and a danger to the Jewish establishment. They wanted him executed. In Judea, only a Roman governor or Procurator had the authority to pass a death sentence. Rather than having problems with Jewish leaders, Pilate relented and ordered that Jesus be crucified.

It was mainly his political beliefs that the Romans had a problem with. He was tried, sentenced and executed for sedition (a political crime with no connection to religion).
In Matthew chapter 27 (King James Version) begins the trial of Jesus. Although Pilate tried to absolve himself of responsibility (Pilate's wife tried to warn him) he agreed to the death of Jesus as a way to satisfy the Jews. Pilate was the Roman govenorof that area of Israel and didn't want any trouble from the people.It is interesting to note that although Pilate sentenced Christ Jesus to death, to show he didn't want any responsibility for the action he washed his hands in clean water from a bowl. That is where we get our expression "to wash our hands of (something)" whenwe don't want to absolve ourselves of responsibility.
Jesus was handed over to be crucified by the Jewish religious leaders and authorities, led by the high priest Caiaphas, who accused him of blasphemy and sought his execution. Ultimately, it was Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, who sentenced Jesus to death by crucifixion.
Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, sentenced Jesus to crucifixion after being pressured by religious leaders who accused Jesus of blasphemy. Herod Antipas, ruler of Galilee, was involved indirectly as he sent Jesus back to Pilate for trial after initially questioning him. Both Pilate and Herod played roles in the events leading to Jesus' crucifixion.
The Nazis tried to claim that Jesus was not a Jew, but was the son of a roman legionary from Germany.
Only a roman ruler could legally order an execution, which is what the Jewish leaders wanted.
This was the Roman Governor of Judaea, Pontius Pilate.He did so reluctantly, however, because he saw no wrong in Jesus. He tried every tactic to persuade the Jewish Authorities who wanted to be rid of Jesus to see sense, but to no avail. It was only when they threatened that word would get to Caesar about him that he allowed a 'traitor to Rome' go free that he felt backed into a corner and passed sentence.
There is no evidence that the Romans wanted to do this. Jesus was not a political but a religious leader. He stated to Pilate, 'my kingdom is not of this world.' Pilate however gave in to the pressure put upon him by the Jews and gave the order for his execution, despite the fact that Pilate admitted Jesus was innocent.
Yes, Galileo was persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church for promoting the heliocentric model of the Solar System, which contradicted the geocentric beliefs held by the Church at the time. In 1633, he was tried by the Inquisition and sentenced to house arrest for the rest of his life.
The Romans did not fear Jesus. He was a preacher in a small corner of their vast empire and did not know much about him. The Roman procurator of Judea actually tried to defend Jesus from the accusations which were levied against his by the Jerusalem elite.
