Roman Palestine (period)

Roman Palestine was a period in the history of Palestine characterised by Roman rule in the region of Palestine, running from 63 BC, or sometimes from 70 AD, until the 7th century AD.[1][2][3] The time period is sometimes further sub-divided into early and late periods.[1][2]

During this period, Palestine went through a series of administrative changes, beginning as a series of Roman client states under the Hasmonean and Herodian dynasties before being gradually annexed into the Roman Empire as the fully incorporated Roman province of Judaea. After 135 CE, Roman Palestine was re-organised into the Roman province of Syria Palaestina,[3] an administrative unit that persisted until 390 CE, when the province was expanded and subdivided into Palaestina Prima, Palaestina Secunda and Palaestina Salutaris under the overarching administration of the Diocese of the East.[3] The three subdivided Palestinian provinces continued to be administered together until the Muslim conquest of the Levant in the 7th century.[3]
