Sometimes called The Great Revolt.
In 66 CE Roman Emperor Nero appoints General Vespasian to launch a Roman police action; however, by c. 67 CE the Roman “police action” has morphed post–Bet Horon into an all–out assault campaign by the Roman Empire.
Vespasian headquarters himself at Caesarea Maritima, on the Mediterranean coast, with 60,000 professional soldiers under his command.
