Jerusalem was under the foot of Nebuchadnezzar, on thru the time of Christ’s trial before Pilate (we have no king but Caesar), and on thru Paul’s rescue from the Jews by the Roman soldiers,...right up to establishment of Israel in 1948.

The inserrection of 70 AD was hardly an example of a Jerusalem controlled by Israel. More like an increasingly painful imprisonment, until the city was destroyed. Rome had the sheer manpower to take Jerusalem in short order if it had wanted to bring in more forces. The city wasn’t much of a threat to overthowing their empire. But, they were certainly used as another example of Roman (God ordained) judgement for rebellion.
