Usage: The term Ἰταλικός is used in the New Testament to describe something or someone that is of or related to Italy. It is an adjective that denotes origin or association with the region of Italy. Context: The Greek term Ἰταλικός appears in the New Testament in the context of describing individuals or groups associated with Italy. In the Berean Standard Bible, this term is used to identify the "Italian Regiment" mentioned in Acts 10:1: "At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment." This reference highlights the presence of Roman military forces in Judea, specifically those recruited from Italy, underscoring the Roman influence and governance in the region during the first century. The Italian Regiment, or cohort, was likely composed of Roman citizens from Italy, reflecting the diverse composition of the Roman army and its deployment across the empire. Cornelius, as a centurion, was a commander of this cohort, and his story in Acts 10 is significant for the early Christian church as it marks the opening of the Gospel to the Gentiles. The use of Ἰταλικός in this context emphasizes the geographical and cultural connections between the Roman Empire and the early Christian narrative.
