Question: What war was started in 602 to avenge the death of Maurice, and included a Jewish revolt against Heraclius?
Context: First Jewish Revolt coinage was issued by the Jews after the Zealots captured Jerusalem and the Jewish Temple from the Romans in 66 AD at the beginning of the First Jewish Revolt.  The Jewish leaders of the revolt minted their own coins to emphasize their newly obtained independence from Rome. Priscus or Priskos (Greek: Πρῖσκος ; died 613) was a leading East Roman (Byzantine) general during the reigns of the Byzantine emperors Maurice (reigned 582–602), Phocas (r. 602–610) and Heraclius (r. 610–641).  Priscus comes across as an effective and capable military leader, although the contemporary sources are markedly biased in his favour.  Under Maurice, he distinguished himself in the campaigns against the Avars and their Slavic allies in the Balkans.  Absent from the capital at the time of Maurice's overthrow and murder by Phocas, he was one of the few of Maurice's senior aides who were able to survive unharmed into the new regime, remaining in high office and even marrying the new emperor's daughter.  Priscus, however, also negotiated with and assisted Heraclius in the overthrow of Phocas, and was entrusted with command against the Persians in 611–612.  After the failure of this campaign, he was dismissed and tonsured.  He died shortly after. Theodosius (Greek: Θεοδόσιος ; August 4, 583/585 – after November 27, 602) was the eldest son of Byzantine Emperor Maurice (r. 582–602) and was co-emperor from 590 until his deposition and execution during a military revolt in November 602.  Along with his father-in-law Germanus, he was briefly proposed as successor to Maurice by the troops, but the army eventually favoured Phocas instead.  Sent in an abortive mission to secure aid from Sassanid Persia by his father, Theodosius was captured and executed by Phocas's supporters a few days after Maurice.  Nevertheless, rumours spread that he had survived the execution, and became popular to the extent that a man who purported to be Theodosius was entertained by the Persians as a pretext for launching a war against Byzantium. Benjamin of Tiberias was a man of immense wealth, who enlisted and armed many soldiers during the Jewish revolt against Heraclius in the 7th century Palaestina province of the Byzantine Empire.  The Persian force was joined by Benjamin of Tiberias, who enlisted and armed Jewish soldiers from Tiberias, Nazareth and the mountain cities of Galilee and together they marched on Jerusalem.  Later, they were joined by the Jews of the southern parts of the country; and supported by a band of Arabs, the united forces took Jerusalem in 614 CE.  Benjamin was one of the leaders of the revolt, actively participating in the Persian siege and capture of Jerusalem in 614.  It is thought that the second leader Nehemiah ben Hushiel was appointed as ruler of Jerusalem. Nehemiah ben Hushiel is an enigmatic figure.  He is thought to be a historical figure and leader of the Jewish revolt against Heraclius.  Nehemiah ben Hushiel is best known as a figure who appears in many medieval Jewish apocalyptic writings.  In these writings he is cast as the Messiah ben Joseph who is an Ephraimite. The Jewish revolt against Heraclius was part of the Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628 and is considered the last serious Jewish attempt for gaining autonomy in the Land of Israel prior to modern times.  According to a recent theory, the revolt and the general Byzantine-Persian War took place during the Late Antique Little Ice Age, which marked the decline of the classic empires, demographic and economic collapse across the Near East and rise of opportunistic forces, such as Muslim Arabs and Turks. Heraclius the Elder (Latin: "Heraclius" ; Greek: ; died 610) was an East Roman (Byzantine) general and the father of Byzantine emperor Heraclius (r. 610–641).  Of possible Armenian origin, Heraclius the Elder distinguished himself in the war against the Sassanid Persians in the 580s.  As a subordinate general (or "hypostrategos"), Heraclius served under the command of Philippicus during the Battle of Solachon and possibly served under Comentiolus during the Battle of Sisarbanon.  In circa 595, Heraclius the Elder is mentioned as a "magister militum per Armeniam" sent by Emperor Maurice (r. 582–602) to quell an Armenian rebellion led by Samuel Vahewuni and Atat Khorkhoruni.  In circa 600, he was appointed as the Exarch of Africa and in 608, Heraclius the Elder rebelled with his son against the usurper Phocas (r. 602–610).  Using North Africa as a base, the younger Heraclius managed to overthrow Phocas, beginning the Heraclian dynasty, which would rule Byzantium for a century.  Heraclius the Elder died soon after receiving news of his son's accession to the Byzantine throne. The Bar Kokhba revolt (Hebrew: מרד בר כוכבא‎ ; "Mered Bar Kokhba") was a rebellion of the Jews of the Roman province of Judea, led by Simon bar Kokhba, against the Roman Empire.  Fought circa 132–136 CE, it was the last of three major Jewish–Roman wars, so it is also known as The Third Jewish–Roman War or The Third Jewish Revolt.  Some historians also refer to it as the Second Revolt of Judea, not counting the Kitos War (115–117 CE), which had only marginally been fought in Judea. Nicetas or Niketas (Greek: Νικήτας ) was the cousin of Emperor Heraclius.  He played a major role in the revolt against Phocas that brought Heraclius to the throne, where he captured Egypt for his cousin.  Nicetas remained governor of Egypt (or at least Alexandria) thereafter, and participated also in the Byzantine–Sassanid War of 602–628, but failed to stop the Sassanid conquest of Egypt ca. 618/619.  He disappears from the sources thereafter, but possibly served as Exarch of Africa until his death. The Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628 was the final and most devastating of the series of wars fought between the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Empire and the Sasanian Empire of Persia.  The previous war between the two powers had ended in 591 after Emperor Maurice helped the Sasanian king Khosrow II regain his throne.  In 602 Maurice was murdered by his political rival Phocas.  Khosrow proceeded to declare war, ostensibly to avenge the death of Maurice.  This became a decades-long conflict, the longest war in the series, and was fought throughout the Middle East: in Egypt, the Levant, Mesopotamia, the Caucasus, Anatolia, Armenia, the Aegean Sea and even before the walls of Constantinople itself.
