The siege of Jerusalem in 70 is the decisive event of the 1st Judeo-Roman War. The Roman army, led by the future Emperor Titus, laid siege to and conquered the city of Jerusalem, which had been held by its Jewish defenders since 66. The city is sacked, and the Second Temple of Jerusalem is destroyed.
