Also, putting words in my mouth, isn't going to avail you much of anything, except derisive laughter from me. In every single reply, to you, that I've made concerning numbers or percentages, I have continually said that it is UNKNOWABLE just how many!
From ancient texts, it has been stated "large numbers".
Just what the population of Israel/Judea/Palestine was under Tiberius onwards, lets say...would be what? NOBODY KNOWS!
How many Jews were living in Rome itself, when Julius Caesar first gave then the right tot practice their religion, as they saw fit, and still be Roman citizens is also unknown; however it was substantial enough for him to recognize them and it was an even larger number under Agustus, who granted them more privilege status; not to mention the fact that their numbers must have grown even larger, by the time of Nero, who refused to "blame them", for the blaze ( where he wanted to build a new palace...so it's up for grabs just WHO had started the conflagration )that just happen to flare up, and instead blamed the it on the Christians.
Pity about you're abysmal lack of reading comprehension skills and total inability to debate like an adult.
Why don't YOU give the stats re the population figures of how many Jews throughout the Roman Empire, including the figure for those living in Rome, for the time between when Rome was a just a Republic and when Constantinople fell?
OH, it’s all so UNKNOWABLE; I’ll just make this dumbass statement in public.
You admit your post was/is stupid ignorance.
K, my bad, my dumbass post.
No lack of reading comp but rather responses to your responses to my response to Jewbaca post 48 without looking at sender.
