Sažetak
The purpose of this communication is to underline the major structural and architectural traits of the synagogues and houses of prayer within the ancient Graeco-Roman world during Classical times, insisting mainly on Anatolia and South-Eastern Europe. Apart from the physical features, their institutional role is also to be taken into consideration, especially as they represented religious and social centres proper to the local community as well. Nevertheless, even if sometimes contested, their power of attraction over the gentiles and their degree of influence on the local environment take the measure for the high integration of the Diaspora Jews within local societies.
