Topic: Iudaea Province


In the News (Tue 7 Oct 08)

  
  Judea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Judea or Judaea (יהודה "Praise", Standard Hebrew Yəhuda, Tiberian Hebrew Yəhûḏāh) (Greek: Ιουδαία), (Latin: Iudaea) is a term used for the mountainous southern part of the historic Land of Israel (Hebrew: ארץ ישראל Eretz Yisrael), an area now divided between Israel and the West Bank, and, in a few geographical definitions of Judea, Jordan.
In modern times, the name "Yehudah" may be used by Hebrew speakers to refer to a large southern section of Israel and the West Bank, or in the combined term Judea and Samaria to refer specifically to the West Bank.
During the 1st century BCE Judea lost its autonomy to the Roman Empire by becoming first a client kingdom, then a province of the Empire.

Provinces were generally governed by politicians of senatorial rank, usually former consuls or former praetors.
A later exception was the province of Egypt, incorporated by Augustus after the death of Cleopatra: it was ruled by a governor of equestrian rank only, perhaps as a discouragement to senatorial ambition.
Normally, the provinces where more trouble was expected — either from barbaric invasions or internal rebellions — were given to former consuls, men of the greatest prestige and experience.
