I should’ve posted, “I didn’t realize that *particular* war was such a big deal to the Romans.”
But all that loot! Wow.
:’) A few (?) years back there was a book, hmm, Goldsomethingorother, author made the ludicrous claim that the gold from the Temple was kept in Rome, then after the city fell, and a hundred years went by, it was all still there, so Justinian (Byz emp, reconquered a good bit of the Roman Empire) found it, nabbed it, moved it back to Israel, and for some reason stashed it in some secret hole in the ground, where it remains. There was even a photo showing some hovel under which it was supposed to have been buried.
