Cassius Dio, the jews, cyprus, what happened? (Question from a internet picture)

[Masha Sha]

Looking for a cicero quote for another topic I cam accros this picture:



What happened? The rabbis must know... anyone else here?

[suddenblow]

Back a few centuries BC there was a significant Jewish presence on Cyprus. War broke out somewhere around 100 BC between the kings of Judaea and Egypt. The quote you have here sounds more like Roman propaganda against the Jews, because at the times when this was written they were rebelling against the Roman empire.
