Godwin’s Law..True, but certainly apropos with Rome claiming to be New Israel and Romes historical anti-semitism.The gates of the ghetto were carefully monitored and locked at night. Jews were only permitted to leave during certain times of day and could never stay outside the ghetto overnight. Upon leaving they were forced to wear pointed hats and yellow badges, disclosing their Jewish identities to the outside world and promoting ridicule and harassment from their Christian neighbors.

Have you no shame? You have posted this nonsense before, but since it seems to satisfy your biases you apparently haven't bothered to actually research the issue or even fact check that one faulty website you keep trotting out.
From Jewishencyclopedia.com:
From the latter part of the sixth century the popes were the real lords of Rome, and the Jews in the city, as well as in the whole country, were dependent on their attitude. Gregory I. (590-604) showed himself very just and mild toward them; he forbade the enactment of any unjust laws against them and decidedly opposed compulsory baptism. The following words appear for the first time in a letter written by him: "Just as the Jews in their communities may not be allowed any liberties beyond the measure allotted them by law, so must they, on the other hand, suffer no violation of their rights" ("S. Gregorii Epistula," viii. 25, ed. Migne). These words afterward became the Magna Charta of the Jews (see Popes). In spite of the severity with which the pope proceeded against the slave-trade of the Jews—he even ordered that the slaves be taken from them by force—he was unable to abolish it. This was due to the fact that several of the Roman Jews who trafficked in slaves managed to evade the edicts by bribes and pretended baptism. During the regin of this pope the Roman Jews especially did much to assist their coreligionists in southern France and in Greece.
The centuries immediately following were dark and troublous ones for the Jews of Rome. The emperor Ludwig II. (855-75) is said to have issued an edict in 855 ordering all Italian Jews to leave the country before the 1st of October in that year. This order, however, was not carried into effect. A decade later the Bishop of Orta attempted to introduce a special Jewish dress, which, however, was forbidden by Pope Nicholas I. As to the reign of Pope John XII., sometimes called Octavian (955-964), and the coronation of Otto the Great see "Yosippon," ed. Breithaupt, vi. 30.
During the following three hundred years the prosperity of the Roman Jews greatly increased, and is especially conspicuous when compared with the experiences of their coreligionists throughout the world during the same period. From the Crescentians and Tusculans on the throne of St. Peter they suffered comparatively little. In 1007 Jacob ben Jekuthiel went to Rome from Lorraine; he mentions a "bet din" which he found there, the president of which bore the title of "nasi."
I'll pass on the bait.
