King Herod the Great began rebuilding and adding to the temple in approximately 19 B.C.E (Before Common Era). Though he started it, the temple itself was not completed until 50 years later. A few years after its completion, Romans destroyed the temple as a means to strike back at Jews causing unrest in his state (circa 70 C.E).
