According to historical accounts, particularly the writings of the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, no one survived the siege of Masada in 73-74 CE, when a group of Jewish Zealots chose mass suicide over capture by Roman forces. However, there were two women and five children who reportedly hid and survived the siege, later revealing the story of the siege to the Romans. This account has fueled discussions about the events at Masada, but the general consensus is that most of its defenders perished.
