Normally, the Romans wanted to receive their taxes. That, and making sure none of their colonies planned rebellions, was usually the only thing that they were really concerned about.
Judaism itself wasn't generally considered a threat, but Jewish uprisings were. The Zealots (against the advice of the Torah-sages) tried to oust the Romans from Judea around the year 68 CE; and then there was the Bar Kochba revolt around 135 CE. These were a major worry to the Romans.

How did the teachings of Jesus threaten the Romans?
The Romans did not see Jesus as a threat. To them he was an insignificant figure in a small backwater of the Roman Empire (Judea). Jesus was seen as a threat by the Jewish priests, not by the Romans.
Were the religious beliefs of republic era Romans were greatly influenced by the beliefs of Jews?
No. But there was a good number of individual Romans who converted to Judaism.
Did the Romans like the idea of being defeated by a girl?
No. The Romans did not even consider women citizens.
Why do you think the Romans viewed Jesus as a political threat?
The Romans did not view Jesus as a political threat. It was the Jewish priests who saw Jesus as a threat.

He tried to save Jesus, but was forced to sentence him to death by the crowd.
What groups did the Romans consider to be uncivilized?
barbarian
