Why is Christ's death considered a sacrifice?

[Minimalist]

No I meant EXPELLED from Judaea which is what Hadrian ordered.

Following the battle of Bethar, there were a few small skirmishes in the Judean Desert Caves, but the war was essentially over and Judean independence was lost. The Romans plowed Jerusalem with a yoke of oxen. Jews were sold into slavery and many were transported to Egypt. Judean settlements were not rebuilt. Jerusalem was turned into a pagan city called Aelia Capitolina and the Jews were forbidden to live there. They were permitted to enter only on the 9th of Av to mourn their losses in the revolt. Hadrian changed the country’s name from Judea to Syria Palestina.

Herod couldn't take a dump without Mark Antony's permission. When Antony was defeated Herod scurried to Octavian willingly kissing the new ass presented to him.

Nonetheless, in the aftermath of the Great Revolt:

After the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, Rabban Yochanan Ben Zakkai moved the Sanhedrin to Yavne. Some scholars believe the so-called Council of Yavne met there. The Sanhedrin left Yavne for Usha in 80 CE and returned in 116 CE.

Yavne was only about 40 miles from Jerusalem. They didn't have to go very far.
