A political-religious movement initiated around year 6 against the census decreed by Rome in Palestine. They were doctrinally integristic, but above all they were violent nationalists who wanted to drive the Romans out of their territory. Of course they were armed and considered terrorists by the Romans. They triggered the Jerusalem rebellion that ended its destruction in the year 70. The survivors took refuge in the fortress of Masada which also fell in the year 76 after the suicide of all.
