This study investigates the Agrippesioi and Augustesioi synagogues of ancient Rome. Known from inscriptions found primarily in the Monteverde Catacombs, the synagogues are conventionally dated to the first century CE. Common opinion is that they were named directly after Marcus Agrippa and the emperor Augustus, both of whom, it is thought, played some part in founding the synagogues. Based on the chronology of the catacombs and the inscriptions, I assign the synagogues to the third and fourth centuries. Taking into account the linguistic and epigraphic comparanda of that period, I argue that the synagogue names were toponyms. They signaled where in Rome the Jewish synagogues were. The analysis has further implications for the history and social setting of Roman Jews. Like other groups at the time, they were identifying themselves based on areas or features in the late antique urban landscape that had been associated with Agrippa and Augustus for centuries.

这项研究调查了古罗马的Agrippesioi和Augustesioi犹太教堂。犹太教堂最早见于公元一世纪，从主要在蒙得维德地下墓穴中发现的铭文得知。。普遍的看法是，他们直接以马库斯·阿格里帕（Marcus Agrippa）和皇帝奥古斯都皇帝的名字命名，据认为，这两者在建立犹太教堂中都发挥了作用。根据地下墓穴的年代和铭文，我将犹太教堂分配到第三个和第四个世纪。考虑到当时的语言和人口统计学比较，我认为犹太教堂的名字是地名。他们示意犹太犹太教堂在罗马。该分析对罗马犹太人的历史和社会环境有进一步的影响。像当时的其他团体一样，他们根据与Agrippa和Augustus关联了几个世纪的古色古香的晚期城市景观中的区域或特征来识别自己。
