Fall of Jerusalem - Part 1 - One Minute History

00:00:59

In the remote province of Judea, Jewish leaders are upset about Greek merchants sacrificing birds in front of their temple. The Roman governor ignores their complaints, so they stop offering prayers and sacrifices for Emperor Nero in the temple. Rome responds by sending three thousand legionnaires to plunder the temple and punish the Jewish population. Outraged, rebel forces fight back, taking over the garrison of Jerusalem and forcing the Romans out of the city. Rome retaliates and orders thirty thousand soldiers to march on Jerusalem and quell the rebellion. Ten miles outside of Judea, in the valley of Beth Horon, the Roman legions suffer one of their most humiliating defeats; six thousand troops are killed and the aquila, the iconic symbol of Roman power, falls into the hands of the Judean rebels. The rebellion grows exponentially as more volunteers and towns join the cause. A full-scale war with Rome is now inevitable.
