The synagogue in Sardis is the largest of its type known to date. Excavations show that the building was originally a civic basilica which was built between the main street and the gymnasium and converted into a synagogue
sometime between 150-350 C.E.
Its unusually large dimensions and rich decoration, as well as the titles of the Jews mentioned in the inscriptions here, show the high status that the
Jewish community
in Sardis held.Slide9
