As Rome moved to crush rebellion in Judea, General Vespasian was proclaimed Emperor and he left his son, Titus Flavius Vespasianus to lay siege to Jerusalem, which suffered extreme losses through assault and starvation. Titus finally stormed Jersualem, destroying much of the city and massacring its population. Two years later Roman forces besieged Masada.
