Reminder that the Emperor Hadrian was also from Spain and achieved the final and complete destruction of Israel. While Titus is more notorious for his triumphal arch and sacking of Jerusalem, Hadrian genocided the whole province of Judea and renamed it to Syria Palaestina.
>Roman historian Cassius Dio wrote: "50 of their most important outposts and 985 of their most famous villages were razed to the ground. 580,000 men were slain in the various raids and battles, and the number of those that perished by famine, disease and fire was past finding out. Thus, nearly the whole of Judaea was made desolate." Recent works, support the figures given by Dio, concluding that his data was based on Roman records available at the time.
>Roman reprisals included severe religious restrictions, such as bans on circumcision and Shabbat observance. Hadrian completed the transformation of Jerusalem into Aelia Capitolina, barring Jews from entering and settling foreign populations there. At the former Jewish sanctuary on the Temple Mount he installed two statues, one of Jupiter and another of himself.
>In an effort to erase the memory of Judea and Ancient Israel, the province of Judaea—whose name carried a clear ethnic association with the Jews, being derived from the Latin Iudaei—was officially renamed Syria Palaestina, a name without explicit ethnic connotations. Historian Seth Schwartz writes that the name was intended to "celebrate the de-Judaization of the province."
>A campaign of ethnic cleansing led to the near-complete extermination of Jews from Cyrenaica, Cyprus, and Egypt. Alexandria's wealthy and influential Jewish community was effectively destroyed. The city's grand synagogue, celebrated in the Talmud, was destroyed. In Cyprus, Jews were permanently banned; Cassius Dio noted that even in his time, during the third century, Jews faced death if found on the island, even due to shipwreck.
