Roman Rule in the Levant, c. 200 CE
This map illustrates the Roman Levant c. 200 CE, encompassing the provinces of Syria Coele, Syria Phoenice, Judea (renamed Syria Palaestina), and Arabia Petraea. It was a culturally diverse and strategically vital region, serving as a trade gateway between the Mediterranean and the East. Major cities like Antioch, Berytus, Aelia Capitolina (Jerusalem), and Caesarea Maritima were key hubs for commerce, administration, and culture, reflecting a blend of Roman, Greek, Jewish, and local influences. Its ports and overland routes facilitated the exchange of goods, ideas, and people across the Roman Empire and beyond.
