Due to religious tumult and increased taxation under the last Julio-Claudian Emperor Nero (r. 54-68), there was open discontent between the people of Judaea and the Roman government. With protests breaking out, the Procurator (a Roman governor of sorts) Gessius Florus plundered the Second Temple (in Jerusalem), claiming the money for the empire. Th...
Jerusalem was a very defensible position at the time of the siege. The city was built amidst valleys; it was elevated and thereby difficult to breach. Surrounded by a wall, Jerusalem had been divided into sections designated the Upper City on the westside where more affluent citizens resided, and Temple Mount on the east end of the city.

Titus and his legions arrived on 14 April of the year 70 CE. Upon arrival, Titus rode out with scouts to survey the areas around the Temple.

They attempted to negotiate a way out of the city, but Titus would not cede any advantage to them. Instead, Titus ordered a portion of the city to be sac...
Rome dealt out its punishments with the battle concluded and the victors in charge. It is estimated by the ancient historians Tacitus (l. c. 56 - c. 118 CE) and Flavius Josephus (36-100 CE) that there were about 600,000 to 1,100,000 people killed in the siege. Males aged 17 and older were either put in hard labor camps or made to be gladiators. Wom...
