Abstract

This article discusses Jewish travellers in the Roman Empire. After a short survey of practical aspects of Jewish travel in the Roman world I will zoom in on two Jewish authors who wrote about journeys: Philo of Alexandria and the author of Luke-Acts. I intend to show that Jewish experiences with travel in the Roman Empire often manifest a tension between participating in the global possibilities for travel the empire had to offer and a local interest in maintaining one’s own distinctive tradition and identity.
