The first Jewish-Roman War (years 66–73), sometimes called The Great Revolt, is the first of three major rebellions by the Jews of Iudaea Province against the Roman Empire (the second will be the Kitos War in 115–117, the third will be Bar Kokhba's revolt, 132–135.It begins in the year 66, stemming from Greek and Jewish religious tension, and ends when legions under Titus besiege and destroy Jerusalem, loot and burn Herod's Temple (in the year 70) and Jewish strongholds (notably Gamla in 67 and Masada in 73), and enslave or massacre a large part of the Jewish population.The defeat of the Jewish revolts by the Roman Empire contribute substantially to the numbers and geography of the Jewish diaspora, as many Jews are scattered or sold into slavery after losing their state.
