The following paper is due to the belief that certain recently discovered documents do throw some light into this darkness. Most recent writers on the subject pin their faith on Dio and assign both the founding of the city, and the resulting war, to a date late in Hadrian's reign. Dio says: In Jerusalem he founded a city in place of the one razed to the ground, naming it Aelia Capitolina; and on the site of the temple of the god he raised a new temple to Jupiter.
