Why did romans tell jews to leave jerusalem?

Answer 1

I believe Rome exiled anyone they considered a threat to the state whether political or spiritual. It was comply or get out.

Jewish Zealots had actually risen up against the Romans and as punishment, the Romans exiled them.

Answer 2

They did not. Jewish communities existed in the Holy Land for centuries after the Romans destroyed the Jewish Temple. They did, however, rid the city of Jerusalem of all of its Jews. This was done as an act of vengeance against the Jews, who had dared to fight back.

Answer 3

In about 77 C.E., the Jewish people revolted against Roman rule in "Palestine" (the Roman name for the land of Israel, named for the traditional enemies of the Jews the Philistines, as an insult to the Jews). They lost. As punishment for revolting and losing, Rome deported the Jews, many as slaves, spreading them through the Roman Empire and beyond.

Answer 4

After the second Jewish revolt, Hadrian got really ticked off and came down super hard on the Jews. He forbade them from entering Jerusalem, enslaved or scattered the population, and even renamed the province, which had been called Judaea, (land of the Jews) to Palistina (land of the Philistines). Just a quick note: There was no "Israel" in Roman times. The kingdom of Israel had not existed since 722 BC when the Assyrians destroyed it. Israel is a modern name for the present day country.

Answer 5

The ancient Roman historian Suetonius wrote an ambiguous sentence which could be translated in two ways:

"Since the Jews constantly made disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus, he [Claudius] expelled them from Rome." Or:

: "From Rome he [Claudius] expelled the perpetually tumultuating Jews prompted by Chrestus.

In the latter version it would mean that Claudius only expelled those Jews who made disturbances. Tumultuating is a translation close to the Latin original (tumultuantis).

This is an obscure passage which has caused debate among scholars. Many assume that Suetonius misheard Chritus (Christ), but others argue that it cannot be ruled out that there was an agitator in Rome whose name Chrestus.

Suetonius did not mention the cause of the disturbances. Many scholars link the disturbance to the spread of Christianity and to clashes between Jews and Christian Jews who preached that Jesus was the Messiah. Others think that Chrestus was a man in Rome who was instigating Jewish unrest and that this was not related to Christianity.
