Syria Palestine
Syria-Palestine is the name given in the Roman Empire, the former province of Judea from the reign of Hadrian.
Following the revolt of Bar Kocheba ( 132 - 134 ) touched a crackdown in the province, which was reorganized. The measures were intended to Hadrian denying the Jewish character of the region, Jews expelled from Jerusalem who was turned into a Roman colony and renamed Aelia Capitolina. Antoninus Pius , without canceling the bulk of the reorganization of Hadrian, in softens perhaps the harshest measures, reversing the ban on circumcision.
To prevent further revolt, the garrison of the province was greatly increased. She now had two legions and many helpers. The province was governed by a legate propraetor former consul. Subsequently, the province seems to have remained loyal to the empire, does not appear to accompany the usurpations of Avidius Cassius or Pescennius Niger.
The VI Legion Ferrata was established Caparcotna (Legio - Lejjun) and X Fretensis was installed to Aelia Capitolina. In 139, three squadrons of cavalry and twelve cohorts of auxiliary infantry supplemented these troops . As of Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius, the legions of the province sometimes send detachments serving in wars taking place in other provinces.
The administrative reorganization of the Eastern Empire are disappearing the term of Syria-Palestine, the provinces of Palestine I, II and III appearing in the fourth century.
