UNLEASH THE CARL – Vespasian #18

About this episode

The episode covers the brutal conclusion of the Siege of Jerusalem and the fate of the Menorah.

This week we finally reach the end of the Siege of Jerusalem — and it's brutal. Titus storms the upper city, the rebels' back is broken, Simon and John have vanished into the tunnels, and by September 25th, 70 CE, the city is rubble and the Temple is gone forever. We also dive into the fate of the sacred Menorah — where it went, what it meant, and why nobody knows where it is today. The post UNLEASH THE CARL – Vespasian #18 appeared first on Life Of The Caesars .
