Some modern authors use the term "terrorism" in reference to events from ancient times. - 1st century, Judea: The Sicarii (Daggers), a radical group of Jewish Zealots, murdered Romans, Herodians, and other Jews they deemed treacherous to their kin, using daggers hidden inside their cloaks. When faced with an open battle they held out for several years at the fortress at Masada.When the Romans broke through their outer defenses they found that they killed each other rather than be taken alive. It is a common misconception that they committed suicide. Jewish law forbids suicide so they first killed their families, than drew lots and killed each other so only one person really committed suicide hence only one broke the law.[1]
