Roman attitudes toward circumcision.

[barca]

A friend of mine who is a Pediatric Urologist brought this information to my attention. I am interested in knowing just what were the attitudes of the Pagan Romans toward the Jews who were circumcised.

I just want to say that I found that article fascinating. (I don't know whether the males of UNRV were able to read it without wincing, though...)

 

I especially liked the way the author cited all those sources at the end of the article. I'm planning to look a few of them up for further reading, as they may shed some light on your question here, Barca.
