What is Anti seminisum to do with the Romans?
Very little. The Romans were quite liberal with the Jews, allowing them their freedom of religion and even allowing their temple contributions to pass through to Jerusalem unmolested by tax collectors. They also gave them a wide rang of self-rule even after Judea became a province. However, they would tolerate no revolts or disobedience of Roman law. But this was not anti -semnitism, it was anti-revolution.
