- Abstract
Paul accuses a fictive Jewish interlocutor in Rom 2,22b, claiming that he, although abhorring idols, commits temple robbery. The present article argues that Paul here alludes to traditions pertaining to the prehistory of measurements taken by Tiberius against Jews in Rome in 19 AD: According to Josephus, Ant XVIII 81–84, a Jew claiming to be a teacher of the law persuaded a lady belonging to Roman nobility to donate money for the temple, which he and his companions then embezzled. Josephus narrates this incident along with gossip pertaining to similar events among the worshippers of Isis. We can assume that the juxtaposition of scandalous stories about both the cult of Isis and Judaism witnessed by Josephus is traditional – and might be presupposed in Rom 2,22b.
