The suppression of the Bar Kokhba rebellion of 132-136 necessitated the mobilisation of as much as 1/3 of the Roman army with legions brought in from around the Roman Empire. It is estimated that forces from 12 legions participated in Severus' final campaign; that is some 60,000 soldiers. According to Cassius Dio 580,000 Jews were killed and 58 towns and 985 villages were destroyed and many more died of starvation or disease. After this Hadrian tried to stamp out Judaism, which is saw as a cause of sedition. He banned the Torah and the Hebrew calendar, had the sacred scroll burnt and executed some Jewish scholars. The Jews were not allowed into the Jerusalem, (except on the day of Tisha B'Av) which he decided to rebuild as a Roman city and renamedit Aelia Capitolina (after the name of his clan and that of the god Jupiter Optimus Capitolinus). He erected ta statue of Jupiter (the most important Roman god ) and one of himself at the former Temple sanctuary. In an attempt to erase any memory of Judea, he abolished the name Judea and replaced it with Syria Palaestina (after the Philistines).

Bar Kokhba, the leader, caused consternation among the Romans, as their legions had serious losses and their far-flung colonies kept abreast of developments in the hope that they might all imitate the Judeans.
2) Since the revolt had been undertaken against the advice of the majority of Torah-sages, it did not have God's support and did not achieve its long-term and wider goal. The Romans eventually crushed it, killing tens of thousands of Judeans, destroying large cities, and outlawing the practice of Judaism for a time.

Bar Kochba's revolt that started in 132. This was the second great Jewish revolt, and there were others. These were costing too much to put down, and the Roman Emperor Hadrian decided that the best solution was to stamp out Judaism. So, he ordered the complete destruction of Jerusalem, driving the Jews out of their traditional home country, forcing many into slavery, banning the teaching of Torah, execution of the leading rabbis, and similar measures known today as the Hadrianic persecution. It didn't work. We're still around.
