When the Roman wars against the Jews are usually depicted, the Jewish military victories are almost never mentioned. The victory at Beth Horan is largely unknown and while the slaughter of the populace is widely known, the many Jewish military successes in defense of Jerusalem leading up to this event are omitted.

If anything is omitted in the modern day retelling of the three Jewish wars or the Himyarite kingdom, it is the amount of ethnic cleansing and genocide committed by Jewish rebels. The entire Kitos war was the definition of genocide and ethnic cleansing (killing over half a million civilians because they are a different religion/ethnicity is genocide)

Great video. I love the additional background and information that you present. Thanks for the book recommendation, my digital library had a copy.

Thanks for giving this info out in video format, good stuff

I had to listen to this over and over to get the picture. A bit too much for me. I finally followed it after taking notes. I must have had to rewind it a dozen times. Hard to to follow.

Fascinating video. I was unfamiliar with this war until today. Well done!

To what i'm aware of the campaign of Trajan in Mesopotamia was a complete success. Hadrian later abbandoned the newly enstablished provinces because of the difficulty of defending them but Trajan won

I like your videos on Jewish history and understand that it is from a Jewish centric pov as it helps understand it better especially during the Davidic Era but how is it ethnic cleansing to move Jews back to their homeland after the actual ethnic cleansing of Roman Greeks in Cyrenaica and Cyprus?

@JtheCritic

Жыл бұрын

Late answer, but being that the largest Jewish community wasn't in Judea, but was instead in Egypt, it's very likely, given that Cyprus and Cyrenaica was nearby, that there were Jews already living there who weren't involved in the mass violence of the extremist rebels, but because they were Jewish, the same ethnicity as the rebels, they were removed from their homes, despite commiting no crimes against their neighbors. That doesn't mean the actions of the extremists weren't ethnic cleansing, but being that these were extremist rebels, they probably didn't care about your ethnicity, they just wanted to conquer, and if the Jews living there had attempted to resist the rebels, they probably would have been killed as well.

In fact, he only portrayed the emperors Trajan and Hadrian (and himself), both of who have reliable images available. None of the minor figures like the Armenian king was portrayed (except for two random dudes that don't actually matter, no idea why). None of the other _major_ figures was portrayed, e.g. the actual leaders of the Jewish uprising in Cyrenaica or Cyprus. Because, like with Quietus, we don't have any images of them. funny how you totally misrepresent that. I wonder why

Not much to describe about him. He was the quiet type.

The last line sounds about right. Historians who subtract what Jews call "the Hardrianic persecution" from the equation consider him to be a superb emperor. It irks me that any historian does that, and I end up concluding that those who do are at least a bit anti-Semitic. But I am sure there is more to the story and cannot wait to here it. And yes, I never heard of the Kitos War. (FYI, it's SDelMonte here. My Google accounts are under my real name.)

That's true, but there's another dimension, which is that Hadrian was broadly very unpopular throughout the Empire by the end of his rule. Only in the 18th century, when Edward Gibbon included him among the "Five Good Emperors," was he rehabilitated.
