In the 1st century AD there was a Great Rebellion of the Jews of Judea, which has also been called the First Jewish-Roman War (66-73).
There were long-standing tensions between Jews and local Greeks. There were riots in Caesarea in 66 which were provoked by Greeks who sacrificed birds in front of a synagogue. The Roman garrison did not intervene. This angered the Jews and one of the clerks of the Temple in Jerusalem stopped prayers for the emperor. Tensions with the Romans were increased by protests about taxation and random attacks on the Romans.
The Roman governor reacted by having the troops breach the temple and seizing some money saying that it was for the emperor. This created widespread anti-Roman unrest. The governor sent troops to raid the city and arrest some of its leaders. They were whipped and crucified despite being Roman citizens.
A Jewish militia, led by the Zealots and the Sicarii took up arms and overrun the Roman garrison. It then attacked Romans and pro Roman officials and destroyed Roman symbols.
A legion from Syria was sent to quell the rebellion, but was defeated. Three legions were then mobilised and Jerusalem was besieged, stormed, sacked and burned. The temple was destroyed

How were the Syrians and Romans alike and different in the way they dealt with Jewish rebellion?
A:From a modern perspective, it is easier to find differences than similarities. The Hellenistic Syrians caused the Maccabean rebellion when they placed idols of their own gods in the Jerusalem Temple. Rome respected the Jewish religion and even covered their emblem, an eagle, when entering Jerusalem. 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.

How did the Romans taking Jerusalem and leveling the Temple have an impact on the Jewish-Christian relations in the late first century?
It was the first major event to cause a division between Jews and Christians, or followers of 'The Way'. Christians started to separate themselves from Jews, and became more pro-Roman. This is an explanation for the glowing review of Pilate, and the discrimination of the Jewish priests. Christians allowing non-Jews and belief that Jesus was the Messiah caused further split.
Continued Jewish revolts caused what roman reaction?
The Bar Kokhba revolt against the Roman Empire was the third major rebellion by the Jews of Judaea Province and the last of the Jewish-Roman Wars.

The region was even renamed to Syria Palaestina.

What was the Roman relationship with Judea and Jews?
Before Judea became a client state of the Romans in 63 BC.The people of Judea had good relations with Rome. However, after it was annexed into the Roman Empire in the 1st century BC. The Romans ruled the Jews. There was often a tense relationship between them. There were two Jewish revolts against the Romans: the First Roman-Jewish War (66-73) and the Bar Kokhba revolt (132-135). These rebellions cost the lives of many Jews. The 66 AD rebellion caused the Temple in Jerusalem to be destroyed by the Romans. Thus the strong animosity that permeated most of the relationship between ancient Rome and Judea. was also the Kitos War (115-117) which was a rebellion of Jews who lived in the Roman province of Cyrenaica, in eastern Libya.Answer:Hyrcanus and Aristobulus, the two sons of the Jewish King Yannai (Johanan Hyrcanus, 1st century BCE), got the Romans involved in Judea when they asked the Romans to settle a dispute. At first the Romans were cordial; and they actually became party to a military treaty with Judea (Talmud, Avodah Zara 9a). A couple of decades later, however, they unilaterally abrogated the treaty, and placed Roman governors over the land who afflicted the Jews with crushing taxation (Talmud, Yoma 9a). In the first two centuries CE, things got worse, with the Romans destroying the Second Temple and temporarily outlawing Torah-observances, and the Jews attempting to revolt. The Romans destroyed large numbers of Jewish communities in the Holy Land, and they killed some of the leading Jewish sages.(During those times that the Romans didn't interfere with the internal life of the Jews, the reason was because the Romans wanted to receive their taxes. That, and making sure none of their colonies planned rebellions, was usually the only thing that the Romans were really concerned about.)
Why was Jesus feared by roman rulers?
Jesus was not feared by the Romans. At the time that Jesus lived, the Romans, with the exception of perhaps one or two, did not even know who he was. It was a certain faction of the Jewish priests who feared Jesus and caused the trouble. They feared Jesus because he was thought to be preaching a false doctrine and seemed to be gathering followers.
