I din't realize that war was such a big deal to the Romans.

Weird, since the loot from the Temple was stashed in their monument to peace... :’) Vespasian was probably the last emperor the Jews should have messed with, and a great many of the emperors didn’t like the Jews at all. The big pederast Hadrian — who remains popular for reasons best left to the imagination — considered circumcision to be a monstrous mutilation of the body (he also didn’t go for piercings and tattoos). And Jews wound up exempt from military service (they had to pay a couple of special taxes) because of the Sabbath — another concept the Romans found completely baffling.

Loot from Jerusalem, especially the temple, paid for building the new Coliseum which was used for gladiator fights and, some say, for feeding Christians to lions.
That was a big deal for Romans.
