This province, which had belonged to Parthia, had just been transferred to Eoman jurisdiction by. the victorious arms of Trajan ; and the Jews, who had hitherto lived in peace and comfort under the shadow of the Parthian kings, found themselves suddenly subjected to the hateful yoke of the Romans, with its attendant oppressions and exactions. They rose, in imitation of their brethren in Africa and Cyprus ; perhaps with the hope of creating a diversion ia favour of th...e former, where the revolt was not yet subdued. By the efforts of Lucius Quietus, a Moor by birth, but esteemed one of the ablest of the Eoman commanders, this revolt was soon suppressed ; but the orders of the emperor to expel the distracted nation from the province ia- volved a task to which all his powers were unequal ; and the Jews remained in Mesopotamia.
