CROWNS FROM THE TEMPLE – Vespasian #20

About this episode

The episode discusses the aftermath of the siege of Jerusalem, focusing on the distribution of medals and the fate of the early Christian community.

On this episode, the siege of Jerusalem is over and Titus is handing out medals, melting down temple gold to crown his best soldiers, and carving up his legions for their next postings around the empire. We dig into what happened to the early Christian community in Jerusalem — spoiler: nobody really knows, and that's the fascinating part. Then Cam and Ray pause to take in the sheer scale of what just happened: a 2,200-year-old city, wiped off the face of the earth.
