It is also a hearts and minds campaign to show Roman troops can work for you as well as kill you, you can be a living part of Pax Romana, or Pax Romana will be built on your land over your grave, your choice.
The Jews chose poorly, I must say. 130CE was close to the end of their tenure in what had been Jerualam.
Also, if the Legions had done a better job demolishing the temple mount, and replacing it completely with a Roman temple, perhaps much of the grief and bloodshed of 20 centuries late might have been attenuated.
