Tradition has it that the Family Anav, ("Min Ha'Anavim,") was one of four aristocratic families Titus brought from Jerusalem to Rome after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 C.E. Zedekiah ben Abraham (1225-1297) was one of many distinguished Talmudists to emerge from this illustrious Roman family.
