I still don't get why the Romans though that the idea of a single god was scary. It wasn't a new concept. Some of the ancient Egyptians believed in the concept of a single god centuries before the Roman Empire rose to power.

Of course, I suppose, mixing monotheism with the fable of Cybele and Attis produced a rather frightening mix for the Romans.
