Persecution of Jews in Italy

Roman Empire
Under Christian emperors, Jews were persecuted in the Roman Empire, including forced conversions to Christianity, forbidding Jews from marrying Christians, restricted Jews from holding public office, and Jews weren't allowed to own slaves as Christians can.

The papacy
The popes of the papacy have made laws restricting Jewish people, which includes Jews being prohibited from holding public office, prohibited from the construction of synagogues, prohibited from testifying against Christians, being forced to live in ghettos, and being forced to wear a Jewish badge and hat.
