The Romans literally taxed Egyptians to death and persecuted the Coptic church and killed so many of its followers that they called that era the era of martyrs

The great Roman Sassanid war killed 10% of Egypt and Levant civilian population and both Romans and Sassanids were very oppressive When Heraclius reconquered Egypt in 629 he forced the Egyptians to pay 10 years worth of heavy taxes since they didn't pay any taxes during that time (due to Sassanid occupation) he persecuted the Jews and wanted to forced them to convert to christianity The Romans persecuted Monophosites and Coptic and Nestorian churches for not being orthodox Christians The Roman tax on Egypt during peace times was 60% heavier than the one imposed by Arabs The Sassanids had list of luxurious items and made it illegal for peasants and poors to buy them even if they saved up the money because they believed that only the house of Sassan and nobility have the right to enjoy them The Sassanid taxes were heavier than the Romans and it was normalized for the upper class men to rape women of lower class even if they were married (at some point as Khosrow I stopped it)
