- Title
The Pottery of Judea Between the First and Second Jewish Revolts.
- Authors
RAPUANO, YEHUDAH
- Abstract
The destruction of the Second Temple of Jerusalem in the aftermath of the First Jewish Revolt against the Romans is seen as a major watershed in the history of the Jewish People in the Land of Israel. The traditional view is that the loss of the Temple and destruction of Jerusalem with the surrounding towns and villages brought an end to Jewish life and culture in Judea. From that moment on the center of Jewish life shifted to the Galilee, later passed to Babylon and was eventually diffused throughout the numerous communities of the Diaspora. Despite this conventional outlook, more and more archaeological evidence is coming to light indicating that Judean culture not only survived the destruction of the year 70 CE but even experienced a brief renaissance that gathered strength until the eruption of the Second Jewish Revolt against the Romans, the so-called 'Bar-Kochbah Revolt', named after its notorious leader, between the years 132 - 136 CE
