The Romans dealt with Jewish rebellions with brutal repression.

In the First Roman-Jewish War of Great Revolt, the Romans besieged Jerusalem, seized it, destroyed it (including the Jewish temple) slaughtered many people and took an estimated 100,000 slaves.

The Kito War, which was a rebellion of Jews in Mesopotamia (Iraq) Cyprus, Egypt and Cyrenaica (eastern Libya) in which many thousands of Roman and Greeks were killed was bloodily suppressed by the Roman army.

The Bar Kokhba Revolt was also suppressed ruthlessly. Some 580,000 Jews were killed in the overall operations, and 50 fortified towns and 985 villages were destroyed and eight leading members of the Sanhedrin were executed. The emperor Hadrian banned the Torah law and the Hebrew calendar, and the sacred scroll was burned on Temple Mount. He renamed Judea Syria Palaestina, rebuilt Jerusalem as a Roman town, renamed it Aelia Capitolina and forbade the Jews from entering it, except on the day of Tisha B'Av.
