Siege of Jerusalem
From Warlike
Q844886
The siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE was the decisive event of the First Jewish Revolt against the Roman Empire. Roman forces led by Titus besieged the Jewish capital, the revolt's main stronghold. After months of fighting, they breached the defenses, destroyed the Second Temple, and razed the city, killing, enslaving, or displacing much of its population. The city's fall marked the effective end of the revolt and had far-reaching political, religious, and cultural consequences.
