1 jan 174 ano antes da era comum - Maccabean Revolt

Descrição:

The Maccabean Revolt was a Jewish rebellion against the Seleucid Empire from 167 to 160 BCE, led by Judas Maccabeus and his family. Triggered by the repressive policies of King Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who sought to suppress the Jewish religion, the revolt began as guerrilla warfare but evolved into a full-scale conflict. In 164 BCE, the Maccabees captured Jerusalem, leading to the cleansing and rededication of the Temple, celebrated as Hanukkah. Despite setbacks, internal divisions among the Seleucids allowed the Maccabees to achieve independence. The revolt became a symbol of Jewish nationalism and resistance against religious persecution.
