Galilee was subjugated with the siege od two towns and whiteout much resistance. Jerusalem was besieged for seven months. The walls of the city, the temple and the fortress were destroyed and the city was burnt. The survivors were sold into slavery.

The two-year Kitos War (115-117), a series of revolts in cities in eastern Libya, Egypt, Cyprus and Mesopotamia (Iraq). Tens of thousands of Roman and Greeks were killed. They were suppressed by the Roman legions stationed in these areas and reinforcements brought by a general.

The four-year Bar Kokhba revolt (132-135) was also suppressed. Hadrian called in Roman legions from all over the empire and the revolt was put down at with heavy Roman losses. There was widespread destruction. According to Cassius Dio 580,000 Jews were killed and 58 towns and 985 villages were said to have been destroyed. After this Hadrian tried to stamp out Judaism, which is saw as a cause of sedition. He banned the Torah and the Hebrew calendar, had the sacred scroll burnt and executed Jewish scholars. The Jews were not allowed into the Jerusalem, which he decided to build as a Roman city renamed Aelia Capitolina (after the name of his clan and that of the god Jupiter Optimus Capitolinus). He also abolished the name Judea and replaced it with Syria Palaestina (after the Philistines).
