The land around the city of Jerusalem was part of the Roman Empire. The city and areas around it were people who believed in One God. And practised the religion of Judaism. The most sacred Temple for the Jews was located in Jerusalem. Rome had a Governor in this area and as usual, they had no problems with other religions. Part of the empire's overall method of operation was to let their provinces, with allot of strings attached, to rule themselves. Rome however had to be recognized and taxes were paid to Rome and/or its local tax collectors. One example of Roman rule over Jerusalem concerned capital offenses that might result in the death penalty. Only with Rome's consent, in this case Pontius Pilot, could the death penalty be applied.
The people known as "Jews" were a nation dating back thousands of years. They land they lived on was granted to them by God. On a religious basis, Rome was interfering with that. With that as a background, it was known in Rome that the Jews were not complacent with Roman occupation of their Holy Land. There were frequent rebellions by the Jews. Frequent and violent enough to have Rome settle this ongoing problem in a fierce way. They sent the 10th legion to destroy all resistance to Rome. The Romans leveled Jerusalem and also destroyed the Temple there. With no other recourse, some Jews stayed there but many others fleed to escape Roman law. Thus Rome's military actions helped the diasporagain more Jews to leave the Holy Land.

The first Jewish Diaspora was the forcible exile to Babylon in 586 BCE. However, the famous second Jewish Diaspora happened under the Romans from 70 CE to 132 CE. Jewish Zealots had fought the Romans on these two occasions and the Romans had enough of it.
