The Roman heartland — home of Rome and the believers who sent greetings in Hebrews 13
MediterraneanHistorically Verified
Rome, Pompeii, and Herculaneum are among the most dug-up sites in the world. No question about Italy's ancient history.
The peninsula at the center of the Roman Empire. Rome, its capital, was the most powerful city in the ancient world and the destination of Paul's journey at the end of Acts. Several New Testament letters have connections to Italy — Hebrews closes with 'the people from Italy send their greetings,' suggesting the author was either in Italy or had Italian believers with him. Paul's Roman citizenship and eventual imprisonment there shaped much of the New Testament.
