ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
It was Antiochus III the Great, the Seleucid king, in the early 3rd cent. BC who sent 2000 Babylonian Jews as cleruchs to establish the first communities in Lydia and Phrygia, in Asia Minor. One of their largest settlements was Sardis. In the Roman imperial times Jewish communities were well established at several cities in Lydia and Phrygia , such as Thyateira and Hierapolis. |
