The Romans Had 'Settlements', Not Jews

"Settlements" is not a term to be applied to locations of Jewish residency in Eretz-Yisrael. Note:

A large structure from the Roman period has been discovered in City of David in Jerusalem, the first of its kind to be found in Israel. The structure was exposed in the excavations in the City of David compound in the Old City...[and] the columns, the capitals, the mosaics and the other findings (*) clearly point to the fact that it was a Roman edifice, part of a widespread style of 300 AD.

Researches believe that the structure holds archeological evidence of the earthquake that toppled the area in the year 336 AD...

He added that "the discovery of the Roman structure in the City of David is a significant contribution to the understanding of the scope of construction in the Roman city. The edifice is the first archeological testimony of the continuing expansion of settlements toward the southern parts of the city toward the end of the Roman period."
