Although the Jewish revolt of 115 (the “Kitos War”) caused much death and destruction, it was eventually suppressed in 117. By now, however, Trajan was dead, having falling ill while trying to suppress multiple revolts across Mesopotamia. He was succeeded by Hadrian, who quickly traveled to Rome to secure his authority and abandoned what was left of Trajan’s conquests.
