These historians seem to have forgotten the Roman’s loss of an entire legion to the Jews at the mountain pass of Beth Horon. You can bet Vespasian and Titus hadn’t forgotten this grievous defeat. The destruction of the Temple was deliberate revenge for that loss. It was no accident. It has also been said that the Temple treasures were auctioned off in Rome with the proceeds used as seed money for the building of the Colosseum and with Jewish slaves used to dig its foundation. That’s how the Romans did things.
They didn’t forget, they edited it out. I’ve heard these scholars in other arenas. This documentary like most makes sure to play up the weakness and victimization of the Jewish people (which is legitimate but incomplete).
I mean, most historians do mention in every history book. But it’s considered a minor victory because obviously it’s only one legion. Plus you gotta be honest it doesn’t really matter even when the Germans beat three legions, the Romans were back a couple years later slaughtering all the ones that they had lost to, referencing back to the revenge you mentioned
@@serge-partykingtech5923 Minor victory? How often did that happen in Rome’s history.It was only one legion of 6000 men wiped out. It definitely mattered to the Roman Senate and to Nero. Clearly that triggered the response by the Romans to destroy Jerusalem and ravage the countryside. Augustus was devastated by the loss of those three legions to Arminius and the Romans never did subjugate the German tribes.
Jerusalem was conqured by the Muslims in the siege of Jerusalem in 637AD. At that time the city was under the control of the Byzantine Empire who at that time were mostly Christians. Later on it was that main focus of the the 200 year Crusade Wars where it went back and forth between Christian and Muslim rule.
It actually must have been horrible for Josephus to try to keep his life from both his native Jews inside the city of Jerusalem whilst he was literally being closely watched by the romans. Upon reflection i can honestly see that what he did during the jewish wars was like anyone else and that was 'self preservation'. Without his works we would know so little too. 😢
It is true that without his accounts this part of history would have been lost. I do however think that the word "traitor" may be a more fitting label for Josephus.
Josephus was unique in that way. The Israelites hated the Romans and their occupation of their land. The Jews were obstinate, angry, and aggressive - fighting to the death.

The Romans were always proud of their conquests. They destroyed the Temple partly because the Jews revolted the Romans insistence that it have pagan statues which enraged them. Different messianic sects, collectively the zealots. The Jews did a lot of damage to the Roman legions. Ultimately the Romans had more military weapons and power and utterly destroyed the Temple and took everything in it as booty for the Roman Empire. Vespasian and his son Titus crushed the Jews.
