TLWC:Jewish world

This is a test for my TLWC (TimeLine Writing Challenge) so it would be a very simple one: Write a TimeLine based on the idea of a Jewish late Roman Empire,POD must be between 1000 bc to 323 bc,mass conversions to Judaism must remain discouraged by Jewish scholars of the time at least until the time of the Hasmonean kingdom.

If Judaism is kept as a ethnically based religion (without mass conversions) a Jewish Roman Empire is close to ABS, as mass conversions are necessary to spread the religion like Christianity during the decline of the Western Roman Empire or Islam during the Arab expansionism in the Middle East and North Africa.

Mass conversions occured during the reign of several Hasmonean kings as well as in the Khazar nobillity.

Well, in the first case (Hasmonean) the mass conversions happened in Judea, so those non-believers were already exposed to a somewhat Jewish cultural context that surely helped the conversions to happen.

For the second case, we are talking of a tribe converted by a rabbi, not a country or even a civilization...

The conversions occured in Edumea and the Galilee which were culturaly helenized.

The Khazars were a civiliaztion which were ruled by a converted nobility in order to avoid becomng puppet of either the Chaliphate or the Rus.
 
Galilee was part of the Kingdom of Israel since David's time, so even hellenized, that area had Jewish cultural influences for more than 8 centuries...as for the Khazars, there are disputes regarding the actual numbers of conversions and if those happened for religious or only political purposes.

Probably political but so is the converstion of Constantin...

By your logic then Babylon also shouldn't have been difficult area for mass conversions,and Egypt...
