In 160 the emperor Hadrian pledged to rebuild Jerusalem which had been destroyed by the Romans in 70, as a gift to the Jews. However, when he visited the city in the same year of the next one, he decided to rebuild in as a Roman colony for Roman veterans. The renaming of the city as Aelia Capitoline occurred after the Bar Kokhba revolt of 132-36.
