Collapses of massive stones from the walls of the Temple Mount were exposed lying over the Herodian street running along the Western Wall of the Temple Mount. The residential buildings of the Ophel and the Upper City were destroyed by great fire. The large urban drainage channel and the Pool of Siloam in the Lower City silted up and ceased to function, and in many places the city walls collapsed. [...] Following the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 CE, a new era began in the city's history. The Herodian city was destroyed and a military camp of the Tenth Roman Legion established on part of the ruins.

Those parts of the lower city already under Roman control were deliberately set on fire. The erection of new towers to break down the walls of the upper city was completed on 7 Elul (in mid-August), and the troops forced their way in. By 8 Elul the whole city was in Roman hands – and in ruins. In recompense for the ferocious fighting they had been required to endure, the soldiers were given free rein to loot and kill, until eventually Titus ordered that the city be razed to the ground, 'leaving only the loftiest of the towers, Phasael, Hippicus and Mariamme, and the portion of the wall enclosing the city on the west: the latter as an encampment for the garrison that was to remain, and the towers to indicate to posterity the nature of the city and of the strong defences which had yet yielded to Roman prowess. All the rest of the wall encompassing the city was so completely levelled to the ground as to leave future visitors to the spot no ground for believing that it had ever been inhabited.'<span class="cs1-kern-right"></span></q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Rome+and+Jerusalem%3A+The+Clash+of+Ancient+Civilizations&rft.pages=25&rft.pub=Penguin&rft.date=2008&rft_id=info%3Aoclcnum%2F1016414322&rft.isbn=978-0-14-029127-8&rft.aulast=Goodman&rft.aufirst=Martin&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fworldcat.org%2Foclc%2F1016414322&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASiege+of+Jerusalem+%2870+CE%29" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-12"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-12">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFNeusner2017" class="citation cs2">Neusner, Jacob (28 November 2017), Hinnells, John (ed.), <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9781351152761-20">"Judaism in a Time of Crisis: Four Responses to the Destruction of the Second Temple"</a>, <i>Neusner on Judaism</i>, Routledge, pp. 399–413, <a href="/wiki/Doi_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="Doi (identifier)">doi</a>:<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://doi.org/10.4324%2F9781351152761-20">10.4324/9781351152761-20</a>, <a href="/wiki/ISBN_(identifier)" class="mw-redirect" title="ISBN (identifier)">ISBN</a> <a href="/wiki/Special:BookSources/978-1-351-15276-1" title="Special:BookSources/978-1-351-15276-1"><bdi>978-1-351-15276-1</bdi></a><span class="reference-accessdate">, retrieved <span class="nowrap">22 May</span> 2022</span></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Neusner+on+Judaism&rft.atitle=Judaism+in+a+Time+of+Crisis%3A+Four+Responses+to+the+Destruction+of+the+Second+Temple&rft.pages=399-413&rft.date=2017-11-28&rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.4324%2F9781351152761-20&rft.isbn=978-1-351-15276-1&rft.aulast=Neusner&rft.aufirst=Jacob&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.4324%2F9781351152761-20&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASiege+of+Jerusalem+%2870+CE%29" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-:5-13"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-:5_13-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-:5_13-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFKaresh2006" class="citation book cs1">Karesh, Sara E.

What is clear from the evidence of both skeletal remains and artefacts is that the Roman assault on the Jewish population of the Dead Sea was so severe and comprehensive that no one came to retrieve precious legal documents, or bury the dead. Up until this date the Bar Kokhba documents indicate that towns, villages and ports where Jews lived were busy with industry and activity. Afterwards there is an eerie silence, and the archaeological record testifies to little Jewish presence until the Byzantine era, in En Gedi. This picture coheres with what we have already determined in Part I of this study, that the crucial date for what can only be described as genocide, and the devastation of Jews and Judaism within central Judea, was 135 CE and not, as usually assumed, 70 CE, despite the siege of Jerusalem and the Temple's destruction</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=The+Essenes%2C+the+Scrolls%2C+and+the+Dead+Sea&rft.pub=Oxford+University+Press&rft.date=2012&rft.isbn=978-0-19-955448-5&rft.aulast=Taylor&rft.aufirst=J.+E.&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DXWIMFY4VnI4C%26pg%3DPA243&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASiege+of+Jerusalem+%2870+CE%29" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-google.co.il-69"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-google.co.il_69-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Totten, S. <i>Teaching about genocide: issues, approaches and resources.</i> p. 24. <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=LoQo50YPzTUC&pg=PA23">[1]</a></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-CambridgeJudaism-70"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-CambridgeJudaism_70-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">David Goodblatt, 'The political and social history of the Jewish community in the Land of Israel,' in William David Davies, Louis Finkelstein, Steven T.
