The fourtle comes after the turtle.

Conjugate the verb...

Where was Prince Judah ben-Hur?

[Pelham]

Romani ite domum!

"Romans, go home!"

[IYAS9YAS]

Dang it. I was going from memory. It was “Romanes eunt Domus.” That’s what I get from trusting my memory.

[rlmorel]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

[rlmorel]

You should have played into it!

CENTURION: What’s this, then? ‘Romanes Eunt Domus’? ‘People called Romanes they go the house’?

BRIAN: It— it says, ‘Romans, go home’.

CENTURION: No, it doesn’t.

[rlmorel]

That is one of my all time favorite scenes from a comedy! Especially when he draws his sword with a “shwing”!

Sadly, it did not end well. Bar Kochba led them to disaster and 2,000 years of exile. And the Temple has never been rebuilt. It is debatable if the Jews had hung on through roman rule if the invading Muslims would have destroyed it. I think they would have, looking at their record of destruction in other occupied regions like Spain.

[Verginius Rufus]

The Temple had been destroyed in the year 70. Julian the Apostate had plans to rebuild it but he was killed during his invasion of Persia just a couple of years into his reign so the plans never were put into effect.

When the Patriarch Sophronius surrendered Jerusalem to the caliph Omar, the caliph didn't destroy the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, so my guess is that he would have spared the Temple if it had still been there, but there is no way to know.

Church of the
Holy Sepulchre,
What a fascinating
Relic,,,
I visited it 25years ago.

[Fido969]

My understanding was that Hebrews of the time would hire others to mint their coins, (for example the temple tax coin) because of the prohibition of making a graven image.

[mosesdapoet]

Intricate design how did the make the die to make these things.

[Pelham]

Yeah well I had to go to google for help so there’s that. You were really close.

[Cronos]

Islam considers itself pure Judaism. It keeps a variation of halasha and of kosher. If there was a third temple (which there wasn’t), it would have not only been spared, but made into a mosque.

[Cronos]

Bar kochkba was inevitable after the Kitos war where Jews massacred gentiles civilians in cyrene and Cyprus.

And that was inevitable from the 66 to 69 revolt
