What happened as a result of tensions between the Romans and did Jews?

Answer 1

There were many effects of the conflict between Romans and Jews, but the most devastating one was the destroying of the temple and the loss of the temple treasure. Another was the expulsion of Jews from their ancestral homeland.

Answer 2

An important aspect of Jewish resistance was the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. This led to decline of the high priests of the temple, who were a religious, social and political elite, and the rise of Rabbinic Judaism and Rabbinic literature. The repression of the Jewish rebellions by the Romans probably accentuated the Jewish diaspora. However, the diaspora had started under Greek rule, before the Romans.

Answer 3

In the Grat Revolt or First Roman-jewish Wae (66-73) the Romans besieged Jerusalem. The siege was long. The Romans tried to negotiate surrender, but the Zealots prevented the people of Jerusalem from surrendering. When the city was taken, the Romans destroyed it and the Temple. A large number of people were killed and 97,000 were enslaved and taken to Rome. They then took Masada, the last stronghold of resistance by the Sicarii in a fortification on top of a table mountain. The Sicarii burnt the place and committed mass suicide when the Romans were about to take Masada.

In the the Bar-Kokhba Revolt (132-135 BC) the emperor Hadrian had to call troops from elsewhere in the empire. The rebellion was put down, but the Romans suffered heavy losses. Many more Jews died. In the three years of fighting 58 towns and 985 villages were said to have been destroyed. After this Hadrian tried to stamp out Judaism which he thought was the cause of rebelions. He banned the Torah and the Hebrew calendar, had the sacred scroll burnt and executed Jewish scholars. The Jews were not allowed into the Jerusalem, which he renamed Aelia Capitolina (after the name of his clan and that of the Roman god Jupiter Optimus Capitolinus). He also abolished the name Judea and replaced it with Syria Palaestina (after the Philistines).
