Under Roman law, the Jewish priests had authority over those who were Jews by birth and over Roman converts to Judaism (proselytes), but not over any non-Jews. Of course, the Jewish priests did have some political influence at the time. Even so, the ultimate authority in the governance of the land of the Israelites was Rome, i.e. the Roman Emperor and his officials. The Romans extended tolerance towards the Jews they ruled. However, this ceased in the latter part of the first century, when the rebellion of the Jews led to a final and total onslaught by the Romans against Jerusalem in 70 CE, destroying the city and the sacred temple of the Jews, capturing 97,000 Jews and killing a further 1,100,000.

Are Romans Jewish?
I don't think Romans were Jewish. There were Jews living in the Roman empire after Jeruserlum was conquered, but they weren't Roman citizens. Or if they were, they weren't born them. this is false. At its height, about 10% of the inhabitants of the Roman empire were Jewish. To cite one famous example, Paul was both Jewish and a Roman citizen. When he was arrested, he demanded to be judged in Rome, as was his right as a Roman citizen. In addition, many Romans selectively followed Jewish moral principles but did not choose to officially convert (circumcision was probably a strong disincentive in an age before anethesia!). The desire of Christian missionaries to convert Romans to their faith required making Judaism - which to the Romans seemed very similar - less attractive and led what had originally been a Jewish sect to end up producing violently anti-Jewish diatribes - an early example of "negative advertising"?. Christianity also competed with Judaism by eliminating the need for the convert to be circumcized or follow dietary restrictions. But its final victory over both paganism and Judaism was imposed by force after Christianity was made the state religion.

What ended the authority of priests and bishops?
The authority of priests and bishops within the wider Christian church has not ended.Roman Catholic AnswerThe "authority" of priests and bishops is only a participation in the authority of Jesus Christ over His Church. They have no authority on their own, but only when they are speaking as His representatives. As such, their "authority" will last as that of Our Blessed Lord. As He created the entire world, then I suppose His authority, as exercised through His priests and Bishops, will last as long as the world lasts.
