    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.
