Timeline - The Jewish Temple in Jerusalem was ransacked and destroyed by the Romans in year 70. Masada, the last pocket oaf Judean resistance, was conquered by the Romans in year 73. The Jews who survived fled or were north west, Hijaz, later to be known as Arabia in the south, Egypt and north Africa in the South West. The events we will speak about today are based in North Africa and Egypt, but also reach Cyprus, Persia and Judea. The year is 115, 45 years after the devastating destruction of Jerusalem and exile of the Jews. Large nukulus of Jews are now settled in North Africa and other areas mentioned earlier. Again for timeline perspective these events took place a least 100 years before the connotation of the Mishna, long before the Talmud. Who were the Jews in the beginning of the 2nd century and only a few decades after the loss of Jewish independence in Judea? What were their core beliefs and objectives? Did they dream to gather strength to return to their homeland and reclaim independence. We don’t really have precise answers to those questions. But we do know that the Jews at the time were not happy with their reality living as an oppressed minority in the vast Roman Empire. We know this because they held a major revolt starting in Cyrenaica, now northern Libya. A Jewish leader named Lukuas Andreas gathered forces and fought the Romans. They took control of the city and destroyed many Temples of Idolatry and Roman culture. From there they proceeded east to Alexandria which too had a very large Jewish population who readily joined the revolt against the Romans which spread out to other provinces. Not enough is known about the objectives of the Jewish revolt. Did Lukuas Andreas actually declare himself Messiah and King of the Jews as some historians have described or is that a later addition. The Romans responded to the revolt with great force. By 117, two years after it began, they succeeded in depressing the revolt at great cost to the Jews who were totally wiped out in Cyprus and in great numbers in Alexandria. The Jews who survived were forced to pay heavy taxes to cover costs of rebuilding the ruins of the war.
