Julian the Apostate planned reconstruction work on it, and a large renovation began on it 19 B.C. by a ruler who had previously besieged it while deposing the nephew of Hyrcanus. Those renovations were conducted using only Cohanim as laborers. One of its interior walls is replaced by a curtain, and Pompey made a noted entrance into it in 63 BCE, while Antiochus IV looted it in 169 BCE. Zerubabbel began the construction work on it with a grant from Cyrus the Great, and it features prominently in the book Ezra. Destroyed by the troops of Titus on the 9th of Av in 70 CE, for 10 points, identify this structure central to religious life in Jerusalem, replacing an earlier structure built by Solomon.
