Scholars believe that the Gospel of Mark was written for the Christian community at Rome before AD 70. In AD 64, a great part of the city of Rome was destroyed by fire. The population found out that the culprit was the mentally disturbed Emperor Nero. Nero therefore placed the blame for the fire on the Christians and began fiercely hunting down and persecuting them. The Roman historian Tacitus wrote, “Yet no human effort, no princely largess nor offerings to the gods could make that infamous rumor disappear that Nero had somehow ordered the fire. Therefore, in order to abolish that rumor, Nero falsely accused and executed with the most exquisite punishments those people called Christians, who were infamous for their abominations. ... And perishing they were additionally made into sports: they were killed by dogs by having the hides of beasts attached to them, or they were nailed to crosses or set aflame, and, when the daylight passed away, they were used as nighttime lamps. Nero gave his own gardens for this spectacle and performed a Circus game, in the habit of a charioteer mixing with the plebs or driving about the race-course.”
