Answer 1

The second large-scale revolt ended in AD 70 with the Romans destroying the Second Temple during the First Jewish-Roman War.

Step-by-step explanation:

The second large-scale revolt the Jews waged against the Romans ended in AD 70 when the Romans destroyed the Second Temple. This event occurred during the First Jewish-Roman War (also known as the Great Jewish Revolt), which began in 66 CE due to grievances including heavy taxation and the Roman looting of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. Despite a strong Jewish resistance, Roman forces besieged Jerusalem, and in 70 CE the Temple was destroyed, marking a significant moment in Jewish history. The destruction of the Second Temple not only had a profound impact on Judaism but also contributed to the Jewish diaspora. Later commemorated by the Romans through structures such as the Arch of Titus, the sacking of Jerusalem and the looting of the Temple financed massive construction projects, including the Colosseum.
