The mountainous terrain west of Jerusalem would've been perfect for ambush tactics. Romans dominated open battlefields but struggling in unfamiliar, elevated terrain makes total sense from a tactical perspective. Eager to see what else the article covers.|
Honestly just enjoying learning something new today. Never knew this happened!|
This must be referring to Cestius Gallus! The ambush at Beth Horon in 66 CE. His legion suffered massive casualties. Such a turning point in Jewish-Roman relations. Great topic choice for an article!|
The headline seems a bit clickbaity to me. "Devastated" is a strong word. Rome ultimately crushed the rebellion and destroyed Jerusalem. One battle doesn't define a war.|
Guerrilla tactics vs. disciplined phalanx formations—this is exactly why unconventional warfare remains relevant today. Would love to know more about their specific strategies.|
Finally! History often glosses over Jewish resistance during this period. It's important to remember that Rome wasn't invincible and that oppressed people found ways to fight back, even against impossible odds.|
Wait, which legion was this? I know about the Jewish Wars but I don't recall a legion being "nearly completely destroyed" in 66 CE. The article cuts off mid-sentence so I can't verify this claim.|
This is fascinating! The idea that guerrilla warfare could actually defeat Roman legions challenges everything we think we know about their military superiority. Definitely need to read the full article.|
