Samenvatting
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.
