Rhome names the city identified as a destination, place of residence, and setting for testimony and preaching.

The term consistently identifies the city as a place people leave, enter, reside in, travel toward, or address others within. The accusative forms occur with movement or intended presence there, while the dative and genitive forms mark people in the city or departure from it.

   In Acts 19:21, Acts 28:14, and Acts 28:16, the accusative singular form occurs where the APB renders intended travel, proceeding, and entering the city. In Romans 1:7 and Romans 1:15, the dative singular form identifies those addressed as being there; 2 Timothy 1:17 likewise places a person's search there. Acts 18:2 uses the genitive singular form in the clause about Jews being ordered to depart from the city.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as the city named in clauses of travel, entry, residence, departure, preaching, and testimony, including "proceeded to Rome" and "who are in Rome." These English phrases confirm the clause-level setting rather than isolate a separate English rendering for each form.
