A 4th-Century Jewish Revolt

The Jews of Dio-Caesarea also overran Palestine and the neighboring territories. They took up arms with the design of shaking off the Roman yoke. On hearing of their insurrection, Gallus Caesar, who was then in Antioch, sent troops against them [the Jews], defeated them, and destroyed Dio-Caesarea. Gallus, intoxicated with success, could not bear his prosperity but aspired to supreme power, and he slew Magnus, the quaestor, and Domitian, the prefect of the East, because they had informed the emperor of his innovations. This provoked the anger of Constantius, and he summoned him [Gallus] to his presence. Gallus did not dare refuse to comply and set out on his journey. When he reached the island of Elavona, however, he was killed, by the emperor’s order. This event occurred in the third year of his consulate and the seventh of Constantius [353 CE].
