Strong's Lexicon Rhómaios: Roman Original Word: Ῥωμαῖος Word Origin: Derived from Ῥώμη (Rhṓmē), meaning "Rome" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "Rhómaios," as it specifically refers to Roman identity and citizenship, a concept not present in the Old Testament Hebrew context. Usage: The term "Rhómaios" refers to an individual who is a citizen or native of Rome. In the New Testament, it is used to describe people associated with the Roman Empire, which was the dominant political and cultural power during the time of Jesus and the early church. Cultural and Historical Background: The Roman Empire was a vast and influential civilization that controlled much of the Mediterranean world during the New Testament period. Roman citizenship was highly valued and conferred certain legal rights and privileges. The Romans were known for their military prowess, engineering, and governance. The presence of Roman authority is a significant backdrop in the New Testament, influencing the political and social context of the early Christian movement.
