How many Palestinian artifacts did Rome take in 70 CE? There must have been many works of art and literature like we see in the Arab world today.

Yeah, I'd like to see a list of these artifacts.

BTW, MalwareBytes blocked the site in the link.

“Palestinian”? How about Jewish or Israeli artifacts?

The Romans gave Judea the name “Syria Palestina” in the AD 100s, probably as an insult to the Jewish rebels who had been fighting against Roman rule.

in 70 AD the Romans won the first Jewish-Roman war.

Though you must remember that the “Jewish” side included 3 factions of Judeans (the Zealots, the Galileans under Menahem bin Judah (the son of Judas of GAlilee who led one of the first messianic revolts in 6 AD) and the traditionalists i.e. those holding the high priest as their leader) — in addition to these, the Idumeans (the Edomites) were equally fanatical Jewish partisans.

The Edomites had been forcibly converted to Judaism in 100 BC by the Judean Jewish king John Hyrcanus. One of those converted was Herod the Great’s father.

It is ironic that Edomites were wiped out as a nation because they died defending Jerusalem and died as Jews.

Anyway - the Romans also later had Roman-Samaritan wars and earlier and later Roman-Nabatean wars (the Nabateans were one of the ancestors of today’s “Palestinians”)

“Palestinians” or more precisely Arabized locals have in their ancestry not only Nabatean, but also Edomite, Samaritan, Jewish, Egyptian, Syriac, Roman, Greek, Persian etc. ancestry.
