The temple tax was a requirement of men who were Jews and over the age of 20 and was seen in the old and new testaments but when did it end?

I found this from Wikipedia:
After the destruction of the temple.

The first Roman attempt to halt payments of the tax was made long before the Jewish War on account of customs controls. The Senate had forbidden the export of gold and silver, but the Jews of Italy continued to pay the Temple tax. In 62 BCE L. Valerius Flaccus, governor of the province of Asia, issued an edict forbidding the Jews of his province from sending the tax to Jerusalem. After the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in AD70 a, new Roman tax was imposed for taxation of the Jews, the Fiscus Judaicus diverted into imperial coffers.
