| During the 1st century ad, the Jewish Zealots instigated a massive revolt in Jerusalem against the Roman governors of Judea. The revolt lasted from 66 to 73, when Masada, the last stronghold of the Zealots, fell to Roman soldiers. This relief from the Arch of Titus in the Roman Forum depicts Roman soldiers removing treasures from the Second Temple, which was razed along with the rest of Jerusalem at the end of the revolt. | ||||||
