Who are the Romaniote Jews?

Travel Info
Does it also refer to the "indigenous" Jews of the Italian peninsula, especially the ancient Roman Jewish community?

Travel Tips

The Romaniotes are among the most ancient extant Jewish communities anywhere in the world and the winds of twentieth century change appear to have finally swept it closer to its end. Lost in the mists of Jewish wandering and settlement that brought their ancestors to Greece 2300 years ago, the Romaniotes withstood the vicissitudes of history - from the rise and fall of empires to the attempts at coerced religious conversion, only to succumb in their Greek homeland to the devastation of the Holocaust, and in America, to the powerful influences of freedom, economic opportunity and the material affluence of its more open society.

No, the Romaniote Jews are the Jews of Greece.

It should refer to those Jews that transformed into Roman citizens, like Joseph Flavius. they were, after their transformation, mostly settled in Italy and Greece.
