Kitos War

The term "Diaspora Revolt", also known as the Trajanic Revolt and sometimes as the Second Jewish–Roman War, refers to a series of uprisings launched by Jewish diaspora communities across the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire during the final years of Trajan's reign. Hostilities began while Trajan was engaged in his Parthian campaign in Mesopotamia, creating a favorable opportunity for rebellion. Ancient sources do not specify the motivations, but they were likely shaped by the Roman destruction of the Second Temple during the First Jewish Revolt in 70 CE, long-standing tensions between Jews and Greeks, the Fiscus Judaicus tax, messianic expectations, and hopes for a return to Judaea.
