The Battle of Masada occurred on top of a large hill top in current day Israel between a group of Jewish rebels (aka Jewish Sicarii, or Jewish Zealots) and the Roman army. This took place between during 73 and 74 A.D. Masada currently has become a place of reverence for Jewish people. They hold military ceremonies and prayers for their fallen ancestors on top of Masada, whom they revered as heroes. This battle was recorded by Flavius Josephus, who was employed by the Roman army.
