I don't know of any pasecutor but the first persecutions include:

1. Persecution under Nero (c. 64-68). Traditional martyrdoms of Peter and Paul.
2. Persecution under Domitian (r. 81-96).
3. Persecution under Trajan (112-117). Christianity is outlawed but Christians are not sought out.
4. Persecution under Marcus Aurelius (r. 161-180). Martyrdom of Polycarp.
5. Persecution under Septimus Severus (202-210). Martyrdom of Perpetua.
6. Persecution under Decius (250-251). Christians are actively sought out by requiring public sacrifice. Could buy certificates (libelli) instead of sacrificing. Martyrdoms of bishops of Rome, Jerusalem and Antioch.
7. Persecution under Valerian (257-59). Martyrdoms of Cyprian of Carthage and Sixtus II of Rome.
8. Persecution under Maximinus the Thracian (235-38).

9. Persecution under Aurelian (r. 270–275).
10. Severe persecution under Diocletian and Galerius (303-324).
