Judea or Judaea (; ; , ; , ; ) is a mountainous region of the Levant. Traditionally dominated by the city of Jerusalem, it is now part of Israel and the West Bank. The name is derived from the Hebrew name Yehudah, and was used during the Babylonian, Persian, Hellenistic, and Roman periods. Under the Hasmoneans, the Herodians, and the Romans, the term was applied to an area larger than the Judea of earlier periods. In the aftermath of the Bar Kokhba revolt (c. 132–136 CE), the Roman province of Judaea was renamed Syria Palaestina.
Judea is a mountainous region in the Levant historically centered on Jerusalem, now divided between Israel and the West Bank. The name, derived from the Hebrew word Yehudah, has been used since ancient times to describe this territory, which was governed by various empires including the Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans, until the Romans renamed the province after suppressing a Jewish revolt in the 2nd century CE.
