Jerusalem AD 70: The Siege That Changed History
In this episode of The History of Jerusalem, Lucas and Luna explore the catastrophic Roman siege of Jerusalem in AD 70. They delve into the political turmoil of Judea under Roman rule, the rise of Jewish rebel factions, and the brutal military campaign led by Titus. The conversation covers key figures like Josephus, who chronicled the siege, and the Zealot leaders who fought to the death. Lucas explains the desperate conditions inside the city—famine, infighting, and the destruction of the Second Temple. They also discuss the aftermath: the dispersal of Jewish survivors, the Roman triumph in Rome, and how the fall of Jerusalem reshaped Jewish identity for millennia. The episode touches on the archaeological evidence, including the Arch of Titus and unearthed artifacts from the Old City. This is a deep dive into a turning point that still echoes in the region's conflicts today.
