Viac o knihe

Focusing on the inscriptions of the City of Rome, this volume provides a comprehensive resource for understanding the Jewish communities in Western Europe, which have been historically underrepresented in literary sources. It highlights community organization, religious practices, linguistic habits, and burial customs through epigraphic evidence. By compiling these inscriptions, the book addresses a significant gap in scholarship, offering insights that were previously scattered across specialized publications. This work is essential for anyone studying the history and culture of Jews in ancient Rome.
