How many civilians of Roman empire (except jews) died in the Bar Kokhba revolt?

Very few. The revolt was only (temporarily) successful in the Judean Highlands. The only cities were Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Jericho and they were rather small and didn't have much of a Roman civilian population. (Why would they want to live there? Maybe a few merchants had offices there) Most of the action took place in sparsely mountainous areas and was against the Roman military. Simply put, there were very few Roman civilians (non military/government) to be potentially killed to begin with.
