Rosh was viewed among his band as a tough, intelligent leader who was willing to fight the conquering Romans until they left Galilee. Rosh's band followed and trusted him while many of the citizens, particularly the younger boys, throughout the town looked up to Rosh. They admired Rosh because he defied Roman power and was considered a brave warrior. Rosh gave the Jews living in Galilee hope that one day his army would be able to defeat the Romans. Individuals like Daniel and Joel believed that Rosh would lead his soldiers from the mountain and banish the Roman forces from Galilee. Despite his admiration among the younger Jewish boys in town, the majority of the citizens viewed Rosh as a selfish bandit who stole from Jewish farmers.
