The Siege of Masada: What Really Happened?

What war looms large on the consciousness of the Jewish people? They even have a saying about it. Josephus wrote the only written record of it. The other record is archeological. The answer is the Roman siege of Masada. 

Josephus wrote that they participated in a mass suicide rather than be taken by the Romans.
