Jews, as part of the Jewish diasporamigrated to Rome and Roman Europe from the Land of IsraelAsia MinorBabylon and Alexandria in response to economic hardship and incessant warfare over the land of Israel between the Ptolemaic and Seleucid empires. In Rome, Jewish communities enjoyed privileges and thrived economically, becoming a significant part of the Empire's population perhaps as much as ten percent. Julius Caesar Rome and Romans Alexandria c. Under Julius Caesar, Judaism was officially recognised as a legal religion, a policy followed by the first Roman emperor, Augustus. Jewish—Roman tensions resulted in several Jewish—Roman wars66— CE, which resulted in the destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple and institution of the Jewish Tax in 70 and Hadrian 's attempt to create a new Roman colony named Aelia Capitolina c. Around this time, Christianity developed from Second Temple Judaism. InConstantine and Licinius issued the Edict of Milan giving official recognition to Christianity as a legal religion. The Christian emperors persecuted their Jewish subjects and restricted their rights. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia article on Rome: [2]. Jews have lived in Rome for over 2, years, longer than in any other European city. They originally went there from Alexandriadrawn by the lively commercial intercourse between those two cities. They may even have established a community there as early as the second pre-Christian century, for in the year BCE, the pretor Hispanus issued a decree expelling all Jews who were not Italian citizens. The Jews who were taken to Rome as prisoners were either ransomed by their coreligionists or set free by their Roman masters, who found their peculiar custom obnoxious. They settled as traders on the right bank of the Tiberand thus originated the Jewish quarter in Rome. Even before Rome annexed Judea as a province, the Romans had interacted with Jews from their diasporas settled in Rome for a century and a half. Many cities of the Roman provinces in the eastern Mediterranean contained very Rome and Romans Jewish communities, dispersed from the time of the sixth century Rome and Romans. In the Greek cities in the east of the Roman empire, Rome and Romans often arose between the Greek and Jewish populations. Jews were also exempted from military service and the provision of Roman troops. Instead, the regulations were made as a response to individual requests to the emperor. The decrees were deployed by Josephus "as instruments in an ongoing political struggle for status". Because of their one- sided viewpoint, the authenticity of the decrees has been questioned many times, but they are now thought to be largely authentic. The financial crisis under Caligula 37—41 CE has been proposed as the "first open break between Rome and the Jews", even though problems were already evident during the Census of Quirinius in 6 CE Rome and Romans under Sejanus before 31 CE. The revolt was put down by the future Roman emperors Rome and Romans and Titus. In the Siege of Jerusalem in 70 CEthe Romans destroyed much of the Temple in Jerusalem and, according to some accounts, plundered artifacts Rome and Romans the Temple, such as the Menorah. Jews continued to live in their land in significant numbers, the Kitos War of notwithstanding, until Julius Severus ravaged Judea while putting down the Bar Kokhba revolt of — After the Jewish-Roman Rome and Romans 66—Hadrian changed the name of Iudaea province to Syria Palaestina and Jerusalem to Aelia Capitolina in an attempt to erase the historical ties of the Jewish people to the region. Many of the Judaean Jews were sold Rome and Romans slavery [18] while others became citizens of other parts of the Rome and Romans Empire. The book of Acts in Rome and Romans New Testamentas well as other Pauline textsmake frequent reference to the large populations of Hellenised Jews in the cities of the Roman world. These Hellenised Jews were only affected by the diaspora in its spiritual sense, absorbing Rome and Romans feeling of loss and homelessness which became a cornerstone of the Rome and Romans faith, much supported by persecutions in various parts of the world. The policy towards proselytization and conversion to Judaism, which spread the Jewish religion throughout Hellenistic civilizationseems to have ended with the wars against the Romans and the following reconstruction of Jewish values for the post-Temple era. Of critical importance to the reshaping of Jewish tradition from the Temple-based religion to the traditions of the Diaspora, was the development of the interpretations of the Torah found in the Mishnah and Rome and Romans. In spite of the failure of the Bar Kokhba revolt, Jews remained in the land of Israel in significant numbers. The Jews who remained there went through numerous experiences and armed conflicts against Rome and Romans occupiers of the Rome and Romans. Some of the most famous and important Jewish texts were composed Rome and Romans Israeli cities at this time. The Jerusalem Talmudthe completion of the Mishnah and the system of niqqud are examples. In this period Rome and Romans tannaim and amoraim were active rabbis who organized and debated the Jewish oral law. A major catalyst in Palestinian Judaism is Judah haNasiwho was a wealthy rabbi and one of the last tannaim, oral interpreters of the Law. He was in good standing with Roman authority figures, which aided in his ascent to being the Patriarch of the Jewish community in Palestine. The decisions of the tannaim are contained in the MishnahBeraitaToseftaand various Midrash compilations. The commentaries of the amoraim upon the Mishnah are compiled in the Jerusalem Talmudwhich was completed around CE, probably in Tiberias. Inthe Jewish population in Sepphorisunder the leadership of Patricius, started a revolt against the rule of Constantius Gallusbrother-in-law of Emperor Constantius Rome and Romans. The revolt was eventually subdued by Gallus' general, Ursicinus. According to tradition, in Hillel II created the Hebrew calendarwhich is a lunisolar calendar based on Rome and Romans rather than observation. Until then, the entire Jewish community outside the land of Israel depended on the observational calendar sanctioned by the Sanhedrin ; this was necessary for the proper observance of the Jewish holy days. However, danger threatened the participants in that sanction and the messengers who communicated their decisions to distant communities. As the religious persecutions continued, Hillel determined to provide an authorized calendar for all time to come that was not dependent on observation at Jerusalem. Julianthe only emperor to reject Christianity after the conversion of Constantineallowed Rome and Romans Jews to return to "holy Jerusalem which you have for many years longed to see rebuilt" and to rebuild the Temple. However Julian was killed in battle on 26 June in his failed campaign against the Sassanid Empireand the Third Temple was not rebuilt at that time. In reaction to this further anti-Jewish measures were enacted throughout the Eastern Roman realm and as far away as Merovingian France. Following the 1st-century Great Revolt and the 2nd-century Bar Kokhba revoltthe destruction of Judea exerted a decisive influence upon the dispersion of the Jewish people throughout the world, as the center of worship shifted from the Temple to Rabbinic authority. Some Jews were sold as slaves or transported as captives Rome and Romans the fall of Judea, others joined the existing diaspora, while still others remained in Judea and began work on the Jerusalem Talmud. The Jews in the diaspora were generally accepted into the Roman Empirebut with the rise of Christianityrestrictions grew. Rome and Romans expulsions and persecution resulted in substantial shifts in the international Rome and Romans of Jewish life to which far-flung communities often looked, although not always unified, due to the Jewish people's dispersion itself. Jewish communities were thereby largely expelled from Judea and sent to various Roman provinces in the Middle East, Europe and North Africa.

Until then — if one accepts Sejanus ' heyday and the trouble caused by the census after Archelaus' banishment — there was usually an atmosphere of understanding between the Jews and the empire These relations deteriorated seriously during Caligula's reign, and, though after his death the peace was outwardly re-established, considerable bitterness remained on both sides. Caligula ordered that a Rome and Romans statue of himself be set up in the Temple in Jerusalem. Only Caligula's death, at the hands of Roman conspirators 41prevented the outbreak of a Jewish-Roman war that might well have spread to the entire East.
