The leader of a troupe of actors in Rome, Genesius was a gifted actor, comedian and playwright. The emperor Diocletian, who was persecuting Christians, was known to visit the theater. Genesius, who was a pagan, had an idea to win himself favor. He wrote a play that made fun of the Christian faith, thinking the emperor would love it as he was coming into the city to celebrate 20 years as emperor. Genesius even pretended to be a convert and approached the Christians in the city who were hiding in fear of their lives.
