Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire. Rebellion 1/7

BBC - Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire.
Chapter 3: Rebellion 1/7.

This is the story of the largest to its date revolt in the Roman empire - The Great Revolt of Judea. A legacy of corrupted Roman governors and oppression would result in bloody violence, short timed independence of Judea-Edomea-Adiabene alliance, a civil war and finally destruction of Jerusalem and slaughter of Judean population by the legions. Despite its proportions and estimated 300 thousand victims, it was just the first chapter of Jewish-Roman wars. Even larger events of Quitos War and Bar-Kokhba revolt would shake the Middle East and Mediterranean to the core, causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands Jewish and Roman civilians, annihilation of entire Roman legions and Jewish armies with their allies. It would end with the doom of Judea, total destruction of its population, and enslavement of the survivors.

סיפור המרד הגדול הוא אחד הפרקים העצובים של עם ישראל לדורותיו, זהי פרשה של לוחמים יהודים עזי נפש שהצליחו להעיף בהרף עין את האימפריה הרומית מארץ ישראל, לכונן בריתות עם ממלכות באזור ולהשמיד את הצבא הרומי שהגיע מסוריה, לכונן משטר דמוקרטי ולהכריז עצמאות. אך זהו גם סיפור הכשלון באיחוד השורות, פילוג בעם, כתות קיצוניות, מלחמת אזרחים עקובה מדם, רציחה של מנהיגים שהיו מראשי המרד, וכתוצאה מפלה וחורבן. ללא הבנת העבר אין לנו את הזכות לבנות את העתיד, ולכן התובנה היא ברורה מכל - מלחמת אחים מובילה לאבדון.

so when did rome concer judae in the first place?

First intervention of Rome dates to 63 BCE when Judean princes Hyrcanus II and Aristobulus II, divided against each other in civil war. Aristobulus was besieged in Jerusalem and sent an envoy to Pompey, offering bribe to be rescued, which was accepted. Eventually another prince - Hyrcanus was put incharge of Judea and Antipater as procurator. Judea then came under short lived Parthian control, Caesar and Antipater were killed and Antipater's son Herod was designated "King of the Jews" in 40 BCE.

[Greyshark09]

Herod the Great, a vassal Roman king of Judea died in 4 BCE, and his kingdom was divided among his sons. Herod's son Herod Archelaus, ruled Judea so badly that he was dismissed in 6 CE by the Roman emperor Augustus. Another, Herod Antipas, ruled as tetrarch of Galilee and Perea from 4 BCE to 39 CE, being then dismissed by Caligula. In 6 CE Judea became part of a larger Roman province, called Iudaea, which was formed by combining Judea proper with Samaria and Idumea. In 66CE the rebellion began.
