Shimon Bar Kokhba (jan 1, 95 – jan 1, 135)
Description:
Shimon Bar Kokhba was the Jewish military leader of the revolt against the Roman Empire from 132 to 135 AD. Some Jews of his time, including Rabbi Akiva, viewed him as a possible messianic figure because he attempted to restore Jewish independence in Judea after the destruction of the Second Temple.
