The Romans never desecrated the Jerusalem Temple, at least until the end of the Second Roman-Jewish War.
Both empires were similar in that they set out to crush the rebellions they faced, but also different because the Romans were successful, while the Hellenists were not.

The zealots. They were the belligerents who flouted the advice of the Torah-sages and brought on the Second destruction by instigating rebellion against the Romans (see Talmud, Gittin 56).
The second Jewish rebellion has been called the Kitos War (115--117). This was a rebellion which took place among diaspora populations outside Judea. While the emperor Trajan was conquering Mesopotamia (Iraq) from the Persians. Jews in the area attacked small Roman rearguard garrisons. Then rebellion also broke out in Cyrenaica (eastern Libya) and spread to Egypt and then to Cyprus. Four cities with a large Jewish population in Mesopotamia also joined the rebellion. Hundreds of thousands of Romans and Greeks were said to have been killed. The revolt was then crushed by the Roman army.
