Excerpt from Records of the Jews in Rome, and Their Inscriptions From Ancient Catacombs, Vol. 1: From Their Earliest Settlement to the Period of the Flavian Dynasty, A Paper Read Before the Literary and Philosophical Society of Liverpool, November 18, 1895 The expressions of gratitude of the Roman Jews to Augustus knew no bounds. They built a synagogue, and named it the Synagogue and Congregation of Augustus, and inasmuch as they dared not render Divine honours to a human being, they instituted the recital of a daily prayer for Caesar and the Roman Empire. Mommsen calls especial attention to this incident in his History of Rome. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
