Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Records of the Jews in Rome, and Their Inscriptions From Ancient Catacombs, Vol. 1: From Their Earliest Settlement to the Period of the Flavian Dynasty; A Paper Read Before the Literary and Philosophical Society of Liverpool, November 18, 1895
This gives additional positive historical evidence of the antiquity of the settlement of the Roman Jews, and, furthermore, that their community was spiritually equipped as an ecclesia or congregation.
We return to Julius Caesar. A proof of his solicitude for the well-being of the Jews in the whole of the Roman dominion is evidenced by an edict to the inhabitants of Paros, where some friction seems to have existed. It runs thus Caius Julius to the people of Paros. I herewith declare my displeasure that any decrees should be issued against our friends and allies forbidding them to follow their ancestral rites, and preventing their collecting money for divine worship and their religious services in Jeru salem, inasmuch as they are permitted to do this in Rome, the metropolis, without let or hindrance.
