jan 1, 6 - Judea Becomes a Roman Province

Description:

In 6 CE, Rome removed Herod Archelaus from power and placed Judea under direct Roman administration. The territory was governed by Roman prefects, including Pontius Pilate, while the Jewish population retained limited religious autonomy under the High Priest and local institutions. This marked the beginning of direct Roman rule over Judea and helped set the stage for growing tensions that eventually led to the Great Jewish Revolt.
