68 CE

Jewish rebels driven out of Galilee rebuild Joppa (Jaffa), which had been destroyed earlier by Cestius Gallus.

Surrounded and cut off by the Romans, they rebuild the city walls, and use light flotilla to demoralize commerce and interrupt the grain supply to Rome from Alexandria.

Vespasian’s army in 68 destroys Jaffa and punishes other rebel cities as he pushes southward toward Jerusalem.
