Question

B.
The Jews did not assimilate into Roman culture.
C.
The Jews revolted against the Romans.
D.
The Romans did not tolerate other religions.

Answer 1

The most accurate answer is C. The Jews revolted against the Romans. The Romans did indeed force many Jews to leave their homeland, particularly following the Jewish Revolt (66-73 CE) and the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132-135 CE). After quelling these uprisings, the Romans implemented measures that included the expulsion of Jews from Judea and the destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple, leading to significant Jewish displacement.
