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.
