Roman Fury: Crushing the Bar Kokhba Revolt
The Bar Kokhba Revolt (132–136 AD) was the final major conflict between the Jewish people and the Roman Empire. Following earlier confrontations, including the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD and the Kitos War (115–117 AD), this revolt saw Jews uniting under the charismatic Simon Bar Kokhba. Initially successful, the uprising briefly reclaimed Jerusalem and major parts of Judea. However, Roman forces eventually crushed the rebellion using scorched-earth tactics. The revolt devastated Judean society, leading to widespread death, enslavement, and exile of Jews. Despite happening nearly 2000 years ago, the Bar Kokhba Revolt’s repercussions continue to be felt to this day.

Even fewer can be seen as reliable.
