| Dear Calvin, the expulsion of the Jews from Rome during the 
reign of Claudius has been the subject of scholarly discussion. Suetonius 
(Claudius 25,4) and Cassius Dio 60,6,6 mention a tension of the relations 
between the Rome and the Jews in the city of Rome. According to the first the 
reason for the expulsion was "impulsore Chresto" which made many scholars speak 
of trouble between Jews and Christians in Rome because of Christ. Dio though 
does not mention such a conflict but gives the growing of the Jewish population 
in Rome as the reason for an edict. The Jews were not banned from the city but 
were not allowed to meet. In the years before Claudius Jews were sometimes 
banned from the city. Under Tiberius they were persecuted because of missionary 
activity for example. I do not think that a tension in relations between 
Claudius and Agrippa would result into the Jews' being persecuted. The Romans 
were much more realistic than to create one more trouble. I think that some 
tumult inside the Jewish community (between Jews and Chistians?) would have 
worried the emperor. We must not also forget that Claudius faced a much more 
serious situation in Alexandria and perhaps he was afraid that something similar 
might happen in Rome as well. Well all these remain in the realms of hypothesis, 
but I hope that they might give you some clue. Regards  Dr. Ekaterini Tsalampouni Thessalonica
