Today part ofIsrael Palestine Jordan (Peraea) Lebanon (NW Galilee) Form of Judaism: before August 70, it is referred to as Second Temple Judaism, from which the Tannaim and Early Christianity emerged.

Judaea was a Roman province from 6 to 135 AD, which at its height encompassed the regions of Judea, Idumea, Peraea, Samaria, and Galilee, as well as parts of the coastal plain of the southern Levant. At its height, it encompassed much of the core territories of the former Kingdom of Judaea, which had been ruled by the Hasmonean and Herodian dynasties in previous decades. The name Judaea (like the similar Judea) derives from the Iron Age Kingdom of Judah, which was centered in the region of Judea.
