How Rome Conquered Jerusalem and Destroyed the Temple | Episode 5

How Rome Conquered Jerusalem and Destroyed the Temple | Episode 5 How did Rome conquer Jerusalem, and why was the Second Temple destroyed in 70 AD? In Episode 5 of our historical documentary series, we explore the dramatic history of Jerusalem under Roman rule — from Pompey's conquest in 63 BC to the reign of Herod the Great, the world of Jesus, and the Jewish revolt against the Roman Empire. Discover how Roman power transformed ancient Judea, why tensions between the Roman authorities and local communities intensified, and how the Great Jewish Revolt led to the devastating siege of Jerusalem. In 70 AD, Roman forces under Titus captured the city, and the Second Temple was destroyed. This event became one of the most important turning points in Jewish history and the history of the ancient Mediterranean world. Through ancient historical sources, archaeology, and cinematic reconstructions, we examine the people, empires, and conflicts that shaped Jerusalem's past.
