Syria Palaestina

Syria Palæstina was a Roman province between 135 and about 390. It was established by the merger of Roman Syria and Roman Judaea, following the defeat of the Bar Kokhba Revolt in 135. Shortly after 193, the Syrian regions were split off as Syria Coele in the north and Phoenice in the south, and the province Syria Palaestina was reduced to Judea. The earliest numismatic evidence for the name Syria Palæstina comes from the period of emperor Marcus Aurelius.
