===Collective vs. solitary=== The earliest recorded incidents of collective civil disobedience took place during the [[Roman Empire]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civil Disobedience {{!}} Encyclopedia.com |url=https://www.encyclopedia.com/social-sciences-and-law/sociology-and-social-reform/social-reform/civil-disobedience |access-date=2022-07-10 |website=www.encyclopedia.com}}</ref> Unarmed [[Jew]]s gathered in the streets to prevent the installation of pagan images in the [[Temple in Jerusalem]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civil Disobedience |url=https://lawjournal.mcgill.ca/article/civil-disobedience/ |access-date=2022-07-10 |website=McGill Law Journal |language=en-US}}</ref>{{Original research inline|date=January 2012}} In modern times, some activists who commit civil disobedience as a group collectively refuse to sign [[bail (law)|bail]] until certain demands are met, such as favourable bail conditions, or the release of all the activists. This is a form of [[jail solidarity]].<ref>{{citation|title=Path of Resistance|url=http://taghier.org/books/english/path_e.pdf|author=P Herngren|publisher=The Practice of Civil Disobedience|year=1993|url-status=usurped|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110728081255/http://taghier.org/books/english/path_e.pdf|archive-date=28 July 2011}}</ref>{{Page needed|date=January 2012}} There have also been many instances of solitary civil disobedience, such as that committed by Thoreau, but these sometimes go unnoticed. Thoreau, at the time of his arrest, was not yet a well-known author, and his arrest was not covered in any newspapers in the days, weeks and months after it happened. The tax collector who arrested him rose to higher political office, and Thoreau's essay was not published until after the end of the Mexican War.<ref>{{citation|author=Gross, Robert A.|title=Quiet War With The State; Henry David Thoreau and Civil Disobedience.|publisher=The Yale Review|date=October 2005|pages=1β17}}</ref>
