Popis:	Scholarly research has been looking for evidence that would help to connect villa 'A' in Oplontis (Torre Annunziata) to Poppaea Sabina, second wife of Nero, to whom Flavius Josephus referred as theosebes, that is, as a sympathizer with the Jews. Although this connection as a hypothesis is widely supported, entirely convincing evidence has still not been found. This paper will present a so far unpublished Hebrew/Aramaic inscription that the authors found accidentally in the villa, which may reinforce this long suspected connection and contribute to our understanding of the life and general conditions of the Jewish diaspora living in Campania prior to 79 CE. Hence, the main goal of this article is to call the attention of the scholarly community to a still unknown graffito, inviting scholars to contribute to its interpretation.
