Before the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, significant Jewish diaspora communities existed in several areas around the world. Key regions with Jewish populations at that time included:
1. **The Eastern Mediterranean**: This included cities such as Alexandria in Egypt and various locations in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), such as Ephesus and Smyrna.
2. **The Roman Empire**: Many Jewish communities thrived in major Roman cities, including Rome itself. There were established congregations in cities across Italy and other parts of the empire.
3. **Babylon (Mesopotamia)**: Significant Jewish communities had developed in Babylon, particularly following the Babylonian Exile centuries earlier.
4. **North Africa**: Apart from Alexandria, Jews were also present in various towns and regions across North Africa.
5. **The Arabian Peninsula**: Some historical accounts suggest the existence of Jewish tribes and communities in areas of Arabia.
These communities played a crucial role in the spread of Jewish culture, religion, and identity throughout the ancient world.
