The Great Jewish Revolt
The Great Jewish Revolt, also known as the First Jewish-Roman War, took place from 66 to 73 CE in the region of Judea, which was part of the Roman Empire. It was significant conflict between Jewish rebels and the Roman Empire. The revolt began due to various factors, including religious tensions and Roman oppression. Ultimately, it ended with the destruction of the second temple of Jerusalem in 70 CE and the fall of the fortress if Masada in 73 CE. This event had a profound impact on the Jewish history and the diaspora.

The Rule of Rome in Palestine
The World History Organization stated "Palestine had long been Hellenised. Since 312 BCE, under Seleucos I Nicator, Greek culture flourised. However, after the Hasmonean dynasty, this Hellenisation became more than that of Greek culture and the cosmopolitan way of life. With the Romanization of the Jewish Hellenised classes came a recrudescence of corruption that had previously flared under Antiochus IV Epiphanes and the Seleucid rule. The local Greeks and Hellenised Jewish elite supported the Romans and as such enjoyed the finer things that the Romans could deliver. The Jewish elite became more aware of their higher place in society and did whatever they could to keep the status quo. The Sadducees, the elite of which the Romans favoured, had the majority of the Sanhedrin (the ruling house) and defended Herod, the client king of Rome"

This division in classes brought about a division, in as much not all the local Jews supported the Herodian way of managing affairs.
