Claudius's Letter Analysis

110 Words1 Page

Claudius’s letter relates to the constitutional relations between the Jewish and Greek communities in Alexandria, as it portrays a key attribute that is irrelevant to our present purpose. The significance of this letter represents a certain interpretation of how these changes can make an impact to the lives of people in Alexandria. The ban which Claudius places on the immigration of Jews from Egypt represents an interpretation as a reference to disturbances and chaos being created within the Jewish community caused by the introduction of Christianity to that city, and confirmatory evidence has been sought by linking the emperor’s severe words about “a general plague which infests the whole world”

The Alexandrians here sent a deputation to Rome with some complaint against the Jews, as the latter had immediately also sent a deputation of their own. We knew also that the Alexandrians took with them the bust of Serapis. It seems that the emperor was on the side of the Jews, especially that the Empress Plotina approached the senators in order that they oppose the Alexandrians and support the Jews. The papyrus told us that while Hermaiscus was speaking to the Emperor who was talking improperly, the bust of Serapis that they carried suddenly broke into a sweat and Trajan was astounded when he saw it.

Therefore, it is unsurprising that many of these institutions were created in reaction to the monarchy and its failures, and thus were shaped by this relationship. For example, the fundamental opposition to monarchy and the rule of kings that came with the experience of the Kingdom of Rome, remained quite strong in the Roman mindset throughout the existence of the Republic and into the beginnings of the Roman Empire, and its influence can be seen throughout Roman political discourse especially in the discussion
