Answer 2
The Siege at Masada was the final battle in the Jewish Zealots' revolt against Roman Imperial control of Judea province. The Zealots retreated to the fortress as a last resort to avoid capture by the Romans. The Romans, however, wanted to end the conflict and proceeded to besiege the fortress so that they could imprison or enslave the Zealots.
It is reckoned to have lasted two or three months. See Related Link below ads.
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.
A siege tower is a temporary wooden tower on wheels used to help the besiegers get over the walls of the castle or town. It was pushed towards the walls until a ramp could be lowered, allowing direct access to the top of the wall, effectively negating the benefits the wall offered the defenders.

Masada (pronounced "matzada" in Hebrew).
According to historical accounts, particularly the writings of the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, no one survived the siege of Masada in 73-74 CE, when a group of Jewish Zealots chose mass suicide over capture by Roman forces. However, there were two women and five children who reportedly hid and survived the siege, later revealing the story of the siege to the Romans. This account has fueled discussions about the events at Masada, but the general consensus is that most of its defenders perished.
Masada was a near-impregnable fortress built by Herod the Great atop a mesa overlooking the Dead Sea. During the first great Jewish revolt against Rome, started in the year 68, Masada was the last redoubt of the rebels, who held on there until the year 73. Rome beseiged Masada and eventually used a force of 15,000 men to take it, the entire 10th legion plus a huge crew of slaves to build earthworks, including a great ramp up which they moved a siege tower.
Herod the Great built Masada
The Bible does not specifically mention Masada by name; however, it is referenced in the context of Jewish history and the Roman siege in the works of the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, particularly in "The Jewish War." Masada is significant in Jewish history as the site of the final stand of Jewish rebels against Roman forces after the destruction of the Second Temple. Although it is not detailed in the biblical text, its historical importance is well recognized in Jewish tradition.
Masada is not found in the Bible.
