was a part of the city where the Jews lived?
Answers
Answer:
At the beginning of the third century bce, persons this volume designates as “Jews” lived not only in the region they considered their ancestral homeland (the land of Israel), but in various other parts of the ancient world, including Egypt, especially Alexandria, and Mesopotamia (this last region outside the purview of this essay). By the first century ce, there were now Jews living not only in nearby regions such as Syria and Egypt, but also in the imperial center of Rome, the cities and towns of Greece and Asia Minor (modern Turkey), and the islands between them. Yet by the beginning of the seventh century, there is sparse evidence for Jews anywhere in Asia Minor, or in Alexandria, or in the capital city of Constantinople, while virtually no Jews have lived in Jerusalem and its immediate environs for centuries. This essay surveys (1) the sources for Jewish habitation in the ancient Mediterranean during these centuries, (2) the problems posed by these sources, (3) what they may tell us about where Jews lived and when, and (4) what might explain the distribution of Jewish populations over this particular thousand years.
