For one, this great imperial power came and occupied the Jewish land. Initially, it was a protectorate preventing the Persians from swallowing the Hashemonian kingdom, but then, they took over, and suddenly, there were legionares enforcing Roman rules, drafting laborers to build roads an aqueducts, and tax collectors sending money off to support purposes known only to Rome. How would you react? Some saw the roads, aqueducts and "pax Romana" as opportunity and made money as merchants, profiting by the Empire. Some people, to keep their positions of power, made compromises with Roman rulers, becoming collaborators in the eyes of others, some did their best to ignore the situation and just get on with things, and some grew increasingly resentful.
As the resentful ones, the zealots, became active, Rome responded with oppression, leading to the classic spiral of oppression and rebellion that occupying armies have sparked time and again over the years. In the year 68, the flash point was reached, and there was revolt, the Romans were driven out, and Rome responded with overwhelming force, bringing in legions from across the empire to crush the revolt. The pot came to a boil again in the second great revolt, under a brilliant general, Simon bar Kochba, who was proclaimed to be the Messiah and who again drove Rome out. Again, Rome eventually crushed the rebellion, but at huge cost to the Empire and greater cost to the Jewish community. Rome killed, enslaved and expelled the Jews of Jerusalem and vicinity, and permanently forbade Jews from living there.
