Roman Rule

Roman Rule in the context of Ancient Hebrew and Jewish history refers to the period when the Roman Empire governed Judea, starting around 63 BCE and lasting until roughly 135 CE. During this time, Jews faced significant changes, including the imposition of taxes, the influence of Roman culture, and restrictions on religious practices. While some Jewish leaders collaborated with the Romans, others led resistance movements, leading to tensions and revolts. This period saw the emergence of key figures, including Jesus of Nazareth, and set the stage for the development of early Christianity against the backdrop of Jewish traditions and expectations.
