What happened in 70 cewhat consequences did the Romans impose on the Jews as a result of their conflict with Rome?
The Romans besieged Jerusalem. The siege was long. The Romans tried to negotiate surrender, but the Zealots prevented the people of Jerusalem from surrendering. When the city was taken, the Romans destroyed it and the Temple. A large number of people were killed and 97,000 were enslaved and taken to Rome. The Romans then took Masada, the last stronghold of resistance by the Sicarii in a fortification on top of a table mountain. The Sicarii burnt the place and committed mass suicide when the Romans were about to take Masada.
Why did the Roman legions sent to defeat the Jewish rebels in Masada take so long to do so?
1) Masada is located in a difficult, desert environment. 2) Masada is located on top of a high, steep slope. 3) The Jews fought back as long as they were able. Specifically, as concerns battle tactics, the slope upwards to Masada was very difficult to traverse. The one path up the mountain was in a zigzag line that left any advancing army open to a hail of arrowfire. Additionally, as the walls of the fortress were directly on the edge of the mesa, there was no ability to use typical siege weapons outside the fortress (like siege towers or ballistas). The Romans resolved that the only way to take the fortress was to literally build a ramp up to the fortress and use a battering ram to smash the wall down. They chose an area where they were relatively protected from arrow-fire to begin building, but the construction took an incredible amount of time. Eventually, when the ramp was complete, they were finally able to break down the wall at that particular point and stormed the fortress. After that, they had a Pyrrhic victory as all of the Jewish rebels had committed mass suicide (and therefore could not be enslaved, tortured, or interrogated).
Why couldn't the Romans let the zealots win at Masada in 73AD?
The Romans never let anyone win. The zealots had been part of the Jewish revolt and Rome was out to punish them. The Romans had a determination that was part of their great military successes. If they wanted to capture/win, they did. They kept coming back at the adversary until they won, no matter how much time and effort it cost. That was why they were able to build the amazing system of siege works and take Masada.
