Rabban Gamaliel II (also spelled Gamliel; Hebrew: רבן גמליאל דיבנה‎) was the first person to lead the Sanhedrin as Nasi after the fall of the second temple in 70 CE. Gamliel was appointed nasi approximately 10 years later. Gamaliel II was the son of Shimon ben Gamaliel, one of Jerusalem's foremost men in the war against the Romans,and grandson of Gamaliel I. To distinguish him from the latter he is also called Gamliel of Yavne.
