The Roman Siege of Jerusalem and Great Jewish Revolt

Описание: In April of 70 CE, one of the bloodiest and most significant sieges in ancient history was about to begin. Four Roman legions had descended upon the city of Jerusalem, the center of what was an increasingly successful Jewish revolt in the Judaea province. By the end of the siege five months later, hundreds of thousands had perished, Jerusalem, including the famous Second Temple, was all but razed, and history was changed forever.
