People's Dictionary of the Bible

Libertines (lĭber-tĭnes). The descendants of Jewish freedmen at Rome, who had been expelled, 19 a.d., by Tiberius. Acts 6:9. They might very well have a synagogue of their own at Jerusalem, as they were numerous, and as there are said to have been not fewer than 460 or 480 synagogues in that city.
