> Why did the Romans throw the Christians to the Lions?

They didn't. It was one of the forms of execution for criminal behaviour, such as the Christian arsonists who burned Rome to the ground during Nero's reign. They were also frequently executed for refusing to honour the Gods of the state, which was considered a type of sedition, effectively putting their allegiances to a foreign anti-Roman cult ahead of the duty to their fellow citizens.

Also, the story of Daniel and the lion's den is a plagiarised ripoff of the story of Androcles the slave.

The persecution of Christians is just victim Olympics propaganda used to vilify the people whom the Christians themselves were actively persecuting. No different from today.
