Judea
     n : the southern part of the ancient Palestine succeeding the
         kingdom of Judah; a Roman province at the time of Christ
         [syn: Judaea]

	

	Judea
   After the Captivity this name was applied to the whole of the
   country west of the Jordan (Hag. 1:1, 14; 2:2). But under the
   Romans, in the time of Christ, it denoted the southernmost of
   the three divisions of Palestine (Matt. 2:1, 5; 3:1; 4:25),
   although it was also sometimes used for Palestine generally
   (Acts 28:21).
   
     The province of Judea, as distinguished from Galilee and
   Samaria, included the territories of the tribes of Judah,
   Benjamin, Dan, Simeon, and part of Ephraim. Under the Romans it
   was a part of the province of Syria, and was governed by a
   procurator.
