Explanation:

The Jewish Diaspora refers to the dispersion of the people of Israel outside of what is considered their ancestral homeland (the Land of Israel).  The Roman domination, which began in the year 63 before our era, continued until a revolt between 66-70 AD, a Jewish uprising to fight for independence, was finally crushed after four years, and culminated in the capture of Jerusalem and the burning and destruction of the Temple, the center of the national and religious life of Jews throughout the world. Jerusalem was also destroyed. This event marked the beginning of the Roman exile, the diaspora, also called Edom exile. Jewish leaders and elites were exiled, killed, or sold as slaves. The Jewish diaspora at the time of the destruction of the Temple, according to Josephus, was in Parthia (Persia), Babylon (Iraq), Arabia, as well as some Jews beyond the Euphrates and Adiabene (Kurdistan). However, after the destruction of the Temple and the persecution by the Roman authorities, many Jewish communities migrated to Europe.
