Talk:Claudius' expulsion of Jews from Rome

Cassius Dio does not distinguish Christians from Jews: implications
In general, Cassius Dio does not use the word "Christian" in his Roman History, and appears not to distinguish (or unable to distinguish) Jews from Christians. Given this viewpoint, the large Christian population in Rome that Cassius Dio must have witnessed in his own time (up to AD229) would appear to him to conflict with any historical reports of massive Jewish expulsions, such as that of AD 41. Thus providing the reason for Cassius Dio convincing himself that Jewish expulsions did not happen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.141.112.92 (talk) 07:56, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
