Bar Kochba and tens of thousands of Jews were massacred. e) Exactly a year later, Emperor Hadrian of Rome bade Turnus Rufus plow up Jerusalem's Temple Mount and wholly blot it from memory. Thereafter a heathen temple was erected on the Beit Hamikdash's site, and Jerusalem, renamed Aeolia Capitolina, was rebuilt as a pagan city off-limits to Jews.",
