What type of post-Exile colonialism existed in Babylon?
AnswerAfter Cyrus defeated the Babylonians and released the Jews from Exile, the Persians ruled Babylon and the entire Babylonian Empire, moving their capital to Babylon. The Jews were grateful to the Persians throughout the Persian period and willingly adopted the Persian choice for the imperial language, Aramaic, in place of the Hebrew language. Even after the defeat of the Persian Empire by Alexander the Great, only the Jews refused to adopt Greek as their language, continuing with the use of Aramaic. This is one example that shows the Jews were willing to serve the Persian masters and found Persian colonialism tolerable.
