Detailed explanation-1: -It is estimated that more than a half million Jews were killed in the Second Jewish Revolt; virtually all the Jews of Judaea died or were exiled. After the Jews’ defeat, the Romans changed the name of Judaea to Syria Palaestina and made Jerusalem into the Roman colony of Aelia Capitolina.
Detailed explanation-2: -The total destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple was catastrophic for the Jewish people. According to the contemporary historian Josephus Flavius, hundreds of thousands of Jews perished in the siege of Jerusalem and elsewhere in the country, and many thousands more were sold into slavery.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 70 AD, the Romans destroyed the temple in Jerusalem and looted its sacred contents. With the revolt over for good, huge numbers of Jews left Judaea to make a home elsewhere. The beginning of Vespasian’s rule had given Romans a new feeling of optimism after the civil war and the terror of Nero’s reign.
