Jewish War
The Jewish War refers to a series of conflicts between the Roman Empire and the Jewish population in Judea, primarily occurring from 66 to 73 CE. This uprising was fueled by religious tensions, heavy taxation, and Roman oppression. The war culminated in the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE, a significant event in Jewish history.
The conflict is documented by the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, who initially fought against the Romans but later became an advisor to them. His writings provide valuable insights into the causes and events of the war, as well as the impact on Jewish society and culture.
