| Summary: | The article discusses the second and third Jewish revolts against Rome, known as the Diaspora riots (115-117 CE) and Bar Kokhba War (132-136 CE) respectively. To what extent are these revolts reactions to the loss of the Temple in Jerusalem? And how does (or should) the fact of ancient Jewish diversity play into our understanding of the ancient sources describing these events? It is safe to assume that the shock over the fall of Jerusalem was shared by most Jews, but there was no univocal response. While for the initiators of the Bar Kohkba revolt the impact of the loss of the Temple seems to have been a motivating factor, we cannot with any certainty make any such claim with regard to the Diaspora revolts. |
