What events would you like to see portrayed in a hypothetical reboot of HBO’s Rome?
The sack of Judea by Titus in an unequivocally pro-Roman light as it should be.
I don’t know a nuanced portrayal could be quite good.
>Rome arrives expecting to easily integrate another religion and province
>It brings money, culture, and technology to the land but it is not wanted because it isn’t their culture
>The Romans greatly offend a religion they can’t understand, eventually getting frustrated and doing it on purpose
>The Jews want independence and to worship their own religion in their own land
>However a few zealots take this way too far
>These zealots piss off the Romans enough to exile the entire people
>The Jews seem to lose everything and for the Romans it’s just another Tuesday
What did they mean by this
Romans took atrocious casualties in the Judean Wars. Several Legion history's abruptly end at the time they began, which is an indication they were wiped out and Roman historians were embarrassed by what became of them. It's not another Tuesday by any means.
Outside of Teutoburg Wald and Adrianople there's probably not a worse defeat for the Roman Empire.
t. ma in Roman history
I’m not saying it was inconsequential, I was saying that for one group this was the end of the world and an event that would define them for 2000 years. The other while a very frustrating rebellion, was just one of many rebellions
>defeat
Who exiled who?
The initial battles of the war were certainly a defeat. At the onset 4 Roman legions were wiped out, so badly that Roman historians suddenly simply stopped talking about them. The Romans were forced to move in at least 10 more legions to put the rebellion down, a huge amount for what was in essence just yet another rebellion.
I mean the Teutoburg campaigns were also technically a defeat for the Germanic tribal confederation. 10 years later they were forced to flee the area
Jewish fanaticism also shocked and frightened the Roman soldiers. There's an example of them fleeing a village after all the jewish women put a curse on the roman soldiers and then committed suicide.
Yet again, who occupied Jerusalem at the end of the day, destroyed the second temple and basically eradicated the sadducees? Is a phyrric victory not a victory? Did the kikes not get blown the fuck out in the end?
At least based Hadrian basically genocides the kikes on some Hitler shit

The amazing adventures of Secundus.
for the byzantine spinoff

press x to doubt
stupid jew
Those types of population exiles were fairly routine in roman history. The only unusual part of the Judean revolts was the scale at which the romans took losses and the fanaticism of the local population
dilate tranny
God Justinian's life was such kino, HBO adaptation when?
wtf did he say that makes him a "stupid jew"? I'd appreciate a real history discussion ITT over the typical JEW REEEE shitfest
well if we're talking about who ultimately won in the end...
>10 gorillion jews
The Romans had a particular bone to pick with the Jews. They renamed the entire area just to deny the Jews their homeland and slaughtered over 500,000 of them. The Jewish exile was particularly harsh.
>15 gorillion trannies
It's probably reflective of the losses/level of resistance they took. They did a similar thing to Carthage. Give the Romans a bad time and they get butthurt.
