Mopping up in Jerusalem continued for days, street by street and alley by alley. The rebel leaders were hunted out of their hiding places and one by one turned themselves in. John of Gischala had been captured but not Simon bar Giora. Then one afternoon he appeared in the middle of the smoldering ruins, as if by magic, wearing a white tunic and purple cape, the vestments of a prophet. He asked for the leader of the garrison of Antonia to be brought to him. Hearing who'd been discovered, Terentius Rufus dropped what he was doing, and bringing Titus and myself along we hurried to where the Temple had once stood, now a tangled jumble of fallen columns, stones, and smoldering beams.

“You know who I am,” Simon bar Giora said. “I come to you of my own volition. The power you have over me I have given to you. Together, we will save my people.”

Titus ordered him taken to Rome to be imprisoned until he and his father entered the city in triumph, where at the temple of Jupiter Capitolinus, in an offering of thanks to our gods for final victory over his people, Simon bar Giora and others would be put to death.
