The Jewish-Roman Wars were a series of conflicts between the Roman Empire and the Jewish people in the 1st and 2nd centuries CE. The most notable of these wars include the First Jewish-Roman War (66-73 CE), which resulted in the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE, and the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132-135 CE), a major uprising against Roman rule led by Simon Bar Kokhba. These wars were driven by Jewish resistance to Roman taxation, cultural imposition, and political control. The conflicts had significant consequences, including the loss of Jewish sovereignty and the dispersion of many Jews from their homeland, leading to the Diaspora.
