The Jews in Late Ancient Rome - L V Rutgers - Bog

It was long believed that Roman Jews lived in complete isolation. This book offers a refutation of this thesis. It focuses on the Jewish community in third and fourth-century Rome, and in particular on how this community related to the larger, non-Jewish world that surrounded it. Jewish archaeological remains and funerary inscriptions are examined from various angles, and compared to pagan and early Christian material. This volume provides an important and useful addition to the literature on Roman Jewry.
