The Romans didn't interfere much in Jewish internal matters, because the main thing that they wanted was taxes and a quiet populace.
Hyrcanus and Aristobulus, the two sons of the Jewish King Yannai (Johanan Hyrcanus, 1st century BCE), got the Romans involved in Judea when they asked them to settle a dispute. At first the Romans were cordial; and they actually became party to a military treaty with Judea (Talmud, Avodah Zara 8b). A couple of decades later, however, they unilaterally abrogated the treaty, and placed Roman governors over the land who afflicted the Jews with crushing taxation (Talmud, Yoma 9a).
In the first two centuries CE, things got worse, with the Romans destroying Jerusalem and the Second Temple after the Jewish Zealots attempted to revolt. The Romans sold hundreds of thousands of Jews into slavery (Josephus). From time to time they forbade the observance of the Torah-commands, and they killed several of the leading Sages, despite the fact that the Torah-leaders had advised against revolt (Talmud, Gittin 56a).
Later, Simeon Bar Kochba led a second revolt, in an ill-advised attempt to recreate the independent Judea. The Romans responded by destroying Betar.

Did Jewish priests have authority over Romans?
Under Roman law, the Jewish priests had authority over those who were Jews by birth and over Roman converts to Judaism (proselytes), but not over any non-Jews. Of course, the Jewish priests did have some political influence at the time. Even so, the ultimate authority in the governance of the land of the Israelites was Rome, i.e. the Roman Emperor and his officials. The Romans extended tolerance towards the Jews they ruled. However, this ceased in the latter part of the first century, when the rebellion of the Jews led to a final and total onslaught by the Romans against Jerusalem in 70 CE, destroying the city and the sacred temple of the Jews, capturing 97,000 Jews and killing a further 1,100,000.
