The first Jewish revolt had been called the First Roman Jewish War of the Great Revolt. It started with religious violence between Greeks and Jews in Caesarea, which the Roman troops ignored. It evolved into protests against Roman taxation and attacks on Romans. The Roman governor breached the Jewish temple in Jerusalem to seize some money that he claimed belonged the Roman Emperor. Protests followed and the governor sent troops to raid the city and arrest some city leaders. Riots broke out and rebels took over the city. The unrest spread through Judea and many Romans were attacked. The revolt was led by Jewish nationalist groups, the zealots and the sicarii. The Romans had to send several legions to put down the rebellion. They besieged Jerusalem and destroyed it, including the temple, killing many people and enslaving many others. They then besieged a fortification on top of a table mountain at Masada where the sicarii had taken refuge. When the Romans took it, 930 sicarii committed suicide.
