Question

Rabbi Joshua told one of these people that bodily resurrection occurs via the almond-shaped luz bone. In the Talmud, these people include a ghost who inspires his nephew to write the Targum Onkelos and the convert ancestor of Rabbi Meir (“meh-EER”). After arriving in a coffin, Yochanan ben Zakkai (“YO-ha-non ben za-KYE”) prophesied that his host would become one of these people and requested him to “give me (15[1])Yavneh and its sages.” One of these people indirectly names the standard system of niqqud (“nee-KOOD”) diacritics, since a city (*) named for him was home to scribes who used stringent error detection methods (10[1]-5[1])to create the Masoretic Text. The phrase “may his bones be crushed” (10[1])follows Talmudic (-5[1])mentions (10[1])of one of these people (10[1])who (-5[1])executed the (-5[1])Ten Martyrs. (10[1])Jews may avoid walking under a structure named for one of them (10[1])that (10[1])features a relief (10[1])of a captured menorah. For 10 points, (10[1])name these rulers whose forces suppressed the Bar Kokhba revolt and destroyed (10[1])the Second Temple. ■END■ (10[3])

ANSWER: Roman emperors [or emperors of Rome; or caesars until “Caesarea” is read; or princeps; prompt on emperors or synonyms of ruler, but reject “kings” or “dictators”; prompt on Romans or gentiles or non-Jews; prompt on Roman generals] (In the Talmud, Onkelos is Titus’s nephew and Nero converted to Judaism. The Masoretes invented the Tiberian system of vocalization in the city of Tiberias.)
