Synopsis
Learn about the Jewish revolts against the overwhelming domination of ancient Rome.
The Romans, through sheer military strength, turned Judea into a client state. They forced the Jews to submit to Roman law and Roman taxation and to countenance Roman religion. The Jews of Judea exhibited unbelievable strength in resisting assimilation into Roman Hellenistic culture. Their history of dealing with foreign overlords inspired the Jews to hold out and then revolt against the Romans.
