They were perfectly fine up until the revolt in the 1st century AD. The Romans generally allowed peoples that they conquered to 'do their own thing' provided they acknowledged the supremacy of Rome. The Roman world didn't appear to suffer from the sort of racism that we suffer from today. As much as anything, this was due to the fact that there were so many gods worshipped that it was normal if the guy next to you acknowledged a different supreme being, or supreme beings to you (provided you paid at least lip service to the divinity of the Emperor). Therefore, there wasn't the racism based on religion that has bedevilled the world for the last 600 years or so. However, once the Jews kicked off and started rebelling and continued rebelling, then the Romans got very angry.

Not all that great, but when haven't we been persecuted?
