Destruction of the second Temple of Jerusalem

The Destruction was the result of a revolt that was suppressed by the Roman Legions after a seven month siege of Jerusalem during the First Jewish-Roman War.

In 70 CE, the Siege of Jerusalem was conducted by Titus and took seven months.
Inside Jerusalem, anybody attempting to flee was crucified, resulting in up to 500 crucifixions each day. According to Tacitus, the population inside Jerusalem had reached 600,000 people. Eventually the Zealots and the Sicarii stopped fighting each other and united against the Romans.
Finally, after three of the Walls had been breached, the Roman Legions entered the City and then destroyed the Second Temple of Jerusalem.
After the Destruction of the Second Temple of Jerusalem, only the Wailing Wall remains today.
