Jews, Greeks and Romans: Being Jewish in the Classical World

Abstract

What did it mean to 'be Jewish' in the Greco-Roman world? Jews, Greeks and Romans will explore the myriad ways that Jewish communities across the Mediterranean engaged with Greco-Roman culture and constructed their own ways of being Jewish. Using texts, artifacts and images--from rabbinic commentaries to Roman catacombs--we will investigate cross-cultural dialogue and interaction with local, non-Jewish neighbors throughout the classical world
