This community was very pointed inwards, and this was also seen and noticed by contemporaries. Was the Jewish politeuma perceived as a city on its own because of the rights the Jews obtained through the centuries?

The aim of this paper is to answer these questions by looking at the characteristics of the Jewish politeuma and how it changed when the Roman Empire took over Egypt.
