The most popular Roman way to commit suicide was by some means of stabbing. A military man would "fall on his sword" and thus die honorably. Civilians also employed this method. They also slit their wrists and bled to death. Self-starvation was also popular. Poison was available, but rarely used.

Why did the zealots attack the Romans?

The Zealots didn't attack the Romans. The Romans were going to attack but all the Zealots killed themselves. Over 960 children, men and woman died. Now, that's a different story. They believe the Romans attacked, or were going to attack, because the Zealots would, in a way, pull pranks on the Romans. The Romans got tired of living over 1,000 feet below the Zealots because it also gave the Zealots a advantage at numerous things.Hoped this helped!:)
