Question

Which of the following is NOT a cause of tension between the Romans and their Jewish subjects when Judea came under Roman Rule?

Answer 1

Answer:

Jews believed the Romans were cruel occupiers.

Explanation:

The Roman Empire occupied an enormous extension of territory. This meant that it often conquered areas that had a very different culture from the Roman one, and this could lead to conflict. One of these cases was Judea, the Jewish land. Jewish people and Romans had many problems due to various reasons. The Jews wanted to adopt Hellenistic laws that did not always match the Roman ones. Moreover, Roman people did not respect the Jewish religion and would insult it, sometimes going as far as to perform crucifixions of Jewish zealots.

Answer 2

Jews believed the Romans were crual occupiers.
