THE ROMAN CONQUEST. 129.
The still unbroken army of Aristobulus was the party most inclined to resistance. The Pharisees, indifferent for the most part, were inclined to receive the Romans without striking a blow. Hyrcanus actively bestirred himself, that the populace might not make common cause with his brother. It was not a war against the J
...ewish people, but against the party of Aristobulus and his mercenaries.
The city itself was thrown open to Pompey; his legate Piso arranged everything. The Roman gen- eral made his quarters in the royal palace of the Asmoneans, close to the outer wall of the Temple. The soldiers of Aristobulus and a few priests shut themselves up in the sacred precincts, and the viaduct which communicated with the city across the valley of Tyropoeon was cut off. The attack was made on the side to the north. Hyrcanus did all he could to aid the labours of the Romans.
