> Pope Paul IV, who reigned from 1555 to 1559, issued the papal bull Cum nimis absurdum on July 14, 1555, which imposed severe restrictions on Jews within the Papal States. This decree mandated that Jews live in a segregated area known as a ghetto, which was walled off and locked at night, with only one gate allowing entry and exit. The bull also required Jews to wear distinctive yellow hats or head coverings to identify them publicly, restricted them to limited professions such as second-hand clothing trade, and forbade them from owning real property or employing Christian servants. Furthermore, it limited the number of synagogues to one per city, leading to the closure of seven synagogues in Rome. The policy was part of a broader effort to enforce conversions to Christianity and was formalized in the bull's explicit declaration that the Church should adopt a policy leading Jews to convert. The Roman Ghetto established under this decree remained in effect until the dissolution of the Papal States in 1870.
