Statement

Seneca, who killed himself in 65 CE, complained that Jewish customs were spreading so far that the conquered were setting rules for the conquerors. Tacitus (56 to 117 CE) is the most hostile: he portrays the Jews as loyal among themselves and hostile to every other people, and says converts learned to scorn gods, homeland and kin.
