The Third Jewish Revolt is also known as the Bar Kokhbar War. This revolt against Roman rules took place between 132 and 135 AD. Based on the ancient Roman historian Cassius Dio, this armed conflict took place in Judea, under the reign of Emperor Hadrian. According to Dio the revolt was a disaster for both the Jews and the Romans. Highlights were:

* 580,000 rebels lost their lives;

* Romans legions destroyed over 1,000 Jewish villages;

* Many civilians died from famine and fires;

* Judea was renamed Syria Palaestina;

* Jews were forbidden to enter Jerusalem; and

* Dio Cassius provides no number of Roman deaths, only that "numerous Romans died".


This final large revolt intensified the Jewish Diaspora.
