Venosa (Lucania/Basilicata, Italy) possesses one of the most important collections of Jewish catacombs in southern Italy, dating from the fourth to sixth centuries. The bilingual funerary inscriptions (Latin and Hebrew), sometimes also in Greek, bear witness to the degree of integration and the preservation of Jewish identity in the city during Late Antiquity, the birthplace of Quintus Horatius Flaccus (Horace).

The days of this book

This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Venosa give years and centuries, never a day; we do not invent one.
