...the Diaspora. In reality though, the conquest of Jerusalem in 63 BC did not lead (nor was it the cause of) the diaspora. Jews had long before seen the commercial and cultural possibilities of the Roman Republic and later, of the Roman Empire. As a result, individual Jews and Jewish communities were already to be found all over the Roman lands and cities, numbering tens of thousands in all. No other population group within the Roman Empire had (voluntarily!) 'dispersed' to other parts of Europe on a scale like this.
The only result of the conquest of Jerusalem was that the Jewish State lost its status of an independent country and became a 'client State' of the Romans. No doubt a number of Jews fled before, during and after the siege of Jerusalem, but the majority could contine their life in Palestine as before. A sizable Jewish community remained and lived there right until the post-WW 2 Immigration and the establishment of the Republic of Israel.
But the large-scale and voluntary emigration to promising parts of the Roman Empire was the reason that the majority of the Jewish people later came to live outside Israel.
