The dispersion routes of the Israelites varied under the Romans and Babylonians in terms of independence, treatment, and historical events.

The dispersion routes of the Israelites under the Romans and Babylonians differed in terms of opportunities for independence and treatment:

The Israelites had more opportunities for independence under the Romans, as seen in the Jewish Diaspora throughout the Roman Empire.
The Babylonians, under Cyrus the Great, allowed the enslaved Babylonian citizens to return home, ending the Babylonian Captivity for the Jews.
However, the Romans imposed heavy taxes and faced immense opposition from the Jews, culminating in revolts and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE, leading to the permanent dispersal known as the Jewish Diaspora.
