The revolts integrated nationalist, religious and ethnic elements, all spiraling towards violence upon polytheist Roman and Greek population and Roman representatives and symbols. While the Great Revolt of Judea (66-73 CE) and the Bar-Kokhba Revolt (132-135 CE) were nationalist rebellions, striving to restore an independent Judean state, the Kitos War was more of an ethno-religious civil, mostly fought outside of Judea province.

| abstract | - The Jewish–Roman wars were a series of large-scale revolts by the Jews of Iudaea Province and the Eastern Mediterranean against the Roman Empire between 66 and 135 CE. The revolts integrated nationalist, religious and ethnic elements, all spiraling towards violence upon polytheist Roman and Greek population and Roman representatives and symbols.

Hence, some sources use the term Jewish-Roman Wars to refer only to the First Jewish–Roman War (66–73 CE) and Bar Kokhba revolt (132–135 CE), while others include the Kitos War (115–117) as one of the Jewish–Roman wars. The Jewish–Roman wars had an epic impact on the Jews, turning them from a major population in the Eastern Mediterranean into a scattered and persecuted minority. The Jewish-Roman Wars are often cited as a disaster to Jewish society. The events also had a major impact on Judaism, after the central worship site of Second Temple Judaism, the Second Temple in Jerusalem, was destroyed by Titus' troops. Although having a sort of autonomy in the Galilee until the 4th century such as the School of Jamnia and later a limited success in establishing the short-lived Sassanid Jewish Commonwealth in 614-17 CE, Jewish dominance in parts of the Southern Levant was regained only in the mid-20th century, with the founding of the state of Israel in 1948.
