Who was the Roman procurator that had authority over Judea as the first Jewish revolt was taking shape?

Judea was governed by Roman procurators from 44 to 70. The eight procurators of Judea were: Cuspius Fadus (44-46), Tiberius Julius Alexander (46-48), Ventidius Cumanus (48-52,) Marcus Antonius Felix (52-60), Porcius Festus (60-62), Lucceius Albinus( 62-64), Gessius Florus (64-66) and Marcus Antonius Julianus (66-70).


Why was there unrest in Judea after it came under Roman rule?

Roman rule in Judea began in 63BCE, when Pompey captured Jerusalem. Judea under the Maccabeans had extended the territory of Judea by conquest, but Pompey returned the north and some coastal settlements to the Syrian province, confining Judea to the lands of the Jewish people. The real problem began when Rome installed Herod as King of a once-again enlarged Judea in 37 BCE. Ethnically, Herod was an Idumaean and although nominally a Jew, was also reported as celebrating to a pagan god, while his court was largely composed of Gentiles. In summary, King Herod was hated by the Jews, who sought opportunities to rid themselves of him. When Herod died in 4 BCE, Jerusalem and Judea passed to his unpopular and incompetent son, Archelaus, and the disturbances that this aroused were violently suppressed by the Romans. In 6 CE, Archelaus was sent into exile and Judea was transformed into a Roman province governed by prefects or procurators. Jerusalem was replaced as capital by the pagan city of Caesarea, another move that would have angered the Jews. The situation in Judea deteriorated after the appointment of Gessius Florus as procurator in 64 CE - the year of the Great Fire of Rome. Florus was apparently given orders, like the rest of Nero's tax-collectors around the Empire, to raise as much revenue as possible. In April 66, the Jews rioted in Caesarea and paraded through Jerusalem with an effigy of Florus dressed as a beggar asking for alms. The Procurator responded to this insult by leading an inadequate force to Jerusalem, to punish the ring-leaders. Faced by thousands of angry Jews, he promptly retreated back to Caesarea, leaving one cohort and the small permanent garrison behind. The cohort negotiated its own terms of departure, but when the troops emerged on the promise of free passage, they were massacred.


How did the ancient Romans handle the riots in Jerusalem that began in sixty four AD CE?

The ancient Romans responded to the riots in Jerusalem that began in 64 AD CE by sending troops to suppress the rebellion and restore order. The Roman governor of Judea at the time, Gessius Florus, mishandled the situation, which further exacerbated the tensions. Ultimately, the riots culminated in the First Jewish-Roman War, which resulted in the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem.


Why did the Jews hate the Roman soilders?

The Jews hated the Romans in general, not just the Roman soldiers Animosity against the Roman escalated in the Jewish rebellion which historians call the First Roman-Jewish War (66-73 BC). Roman mishandling of the situation greatly increased Jewish hatred. There was tension between the Jews and the Greeks in Judea. The Greeks provoked the Jews by sacrificing birds in front of a synagogue and the Roman soldiers did not intervene. The old tensions between Jews and Greeks escalated. One of the priests of the Temple in Jerusalem stopped praying and performing sacrifices for the Roman emperor in protest. There were also protests over Roman taxation. There were random attacks on Roman citizens and Jews who collaborated with the Romans in Jerusalem. Things were made much worse by the Roman governor, Gessius Florus, who ordered his troops to breach the temple and seize seventeen talents of gold from its treasury, claiming that it was money due to the emperor. Unrest broke out in Jerusalem. Florus reacted by sending soldiers to raid the city and arrest some city leaders who were later whipped and crucifies. This was bad enough, but it was made even worse by the fact that some of these men had been made Roman citizens and Roman law did not allow the crucifixion of Roman citizens. Two Jewish nationalistic factions, the Zealots and the Sicarii, armed themselves and overrun the Roman military garrison in Jerusalem. Their militias then attacked Roman citizens of Judea and pro-Roman officials and removed Roman symbols around the country. The Romans sent armies to Judea. This was the beginning of the \first Roman-Jewish War.
