I'm looking for a source that suggests the idea that Paul of Tarsus sent the people in Romans 16 to Rome to transplant a cosmopolitan church there. I've heard some scholars suggest this, but haven't found it in print. The idea is that after Claudius' ban was lift, Paul sent Priscilla and Aquila back to Rome to spearhead the church. And then sent many Gentiles there along with some Jews he knew personally, so that it would match the city.

Any confirming thoughts on this theory would be appreciated.
