Strong's Lexicon Rhómé: Rome Original Word: Ῥώμη Word Origin: Derived from the Latin "Roma" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "Rome" in the Old Testament, as the city and its empire rose to prominence after the Hebrew Scriptures were written. However, the concept of a powerful foreign empire can be seen in references to Babylon (Strong's Hebrew 0894: בָּבֶל, Babel). Usage: In the New Testament, "Rhómé" refers to the city of Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire. It is used to denote the geographical and political center of the ancient world during the time of the early church. Rome was a significant location for the spread of Christianity and is mentioned in the context of Paul's missionary journeys and letters. Cultural and Historical Background: Rome was the heart of the Roman Empire, known for its vast influence, power, and cultural achievements. It was a hub of political authority, economic activity, and cultural exchange. The city was also a melting pot of various religions and philosophies, which provided both opportunities and challenges for the early Christian church. The presence of a Christian community in Rome is evident from the New Testament, and it played a crucial role in the spread of the Gospel.
