Um...I think that the Second Temple was destroyed prior to that time. If I'm not mistaken, the Second Temple was built under the supervision of Zerubbabel in the 500s and 400s B.C. It was destroyed some time later, and a Third Temple was constructed in the last century B.C. by King Herod "the Great." It was this temple which was destroyed by the Romans in A.D. 70 under the rule of Emperor Flavius Vespasianus.

Technically, you are correct. But in common usage, the term "Second Temple" refers roughly to the period of time just before/ during / and after the reign of Herod as ruler of Roman Judea. You can check any book that deals with the history and/or literature of that period, e.g., Larry R. Helyer. Exploring Jewish Literature of the Second Temple Period. InterVarsity Press, 2002.

The Second Temple was still standing in the time of Herod, who expanded and improved it. So it was the Second Temple which was destroyed by the Romans.
