AD 70 – A Roman army under Titus occupies and plunders Jerusalem.

It is forgotten by historians that the reason why Titus went to Jerusalem on this day in the year 70 was because Nero had messed up while dealing with a rebellion in Gaul, and so Rome had to put it down twice. So they went to Jerusalem to make an object lesson to prevent rebellion. One in six people in the empire was Jewish. And so Biden's administration resembles Nero's. https://voiceddb.locals.com/post/1038006/on-this-day-7th-sep
