What was the siege of masada about?
Answer 1The seige of masada was about a war and the seige of masada started in 73 AD and lasted about 4-3 months its a factAnswer 2The Siege at Masada was the final battle in the Jewish Zealots' revolt against Roman Imperial control of Judea province. The Zealots retreated to the fortress as a last resort to avoid capture by the Romans. The Romans, however, wanted to end the conflict and proceeded to besiege the fortress so that they could imprison or enslave the Zealots.
How long did the Jewish zealots hold off the Romans at Masada?
From early 72 AD until the spring of 73 AD, so about a year.
What happened in 70 cewhat consequences did the Romans impose on the Jews as a result of their conflict with Rome?
The Romans besieged Jerusalem. The siege was long. The Romans tried to negotiate surrender, but the Zealots prevented the people of Jerusalem from surrendering. When the city was taken, the Romans destroyed it and the Temple. A large number of people were killed and 97,000 were enslaved and taken to Rome. The Romans then took Masada, the last stronghold of resistance by the Sicarii in a fortification on top of a table mountain. The Sicarii burnt the place and committed mass suicide when the Romans were about to take Masada.
Why did the Roman legions sent to defeat the Jewish rebels in Masada take so long to do so?
1) Masada is located in a difficult, desert environment. 2) Masada is located on top of a high, steep slope. 3) The Jews fought back as long as they were able. Specifically, as concerns battle tactics, the slope upwards to Masada was very difficult to traverse. The one path up the mountain was in a zigzag line that left any advancing army open to a hail of arrowfire. Additionally, as the walls of the fortress were directly on the edge of the mesa, there was no ability to use typical siege weapons outside the fortress (like siege towers or ballistas). The Romans resolved that the only way to take the fortress was to literally build a ramp up to the fortress and use a battering ram to smash the wall down. They chose an area where they were relatively protected from arrow-fire to begin building, but the construction took an incredible amount of time. Eventually, when the ramp was complete, they were finally able to break down the wall at that particular point and stormed the fortress. After that, they had a Pyrrhic victory as all of the Jewish rebels had committed mass suicide (and therefore could not be enslaved, tortured, or interrogated).
Why couldn't the Romans let the zealots win at Masada in 73AD?
The Romans never let anyone win. The zealots had been part of the Jewish revolt and Rome was out to punish them. The Romans had a determination that was part of their great military successes. If they wanted to capture/win, they did. They kept coming back at the adversary until they won, no matter how much time and effort it cost. That was why they were able to build the amazing system of siege works and take Masada.

Why did the Jews wanted to control the Masada?
Masada was a near-impregnable fortress built by Herod the Great atop a mesa overlooking the Dead Sea. During the first great Jewish revolt against Rome, started in the year 68, Masada was the last redoubt of the rebels, who held on there until the year 73. Rome beseiged Masada and eventually used a force of 15,000 men to take it, the entire 10th legion plus a huge crew of slaves to build earthworks, including a great ramp up which they moved a siege tower.
