Interesting facts about this location
Syria (Roman province)
Syria was an early Roman province, annexed to the Roman Empire in 64 BC by Pompey, as a consequence of his military presence in the Levant, after pursuing victory in the Third Mithridatic War. Following the Jewish-Roman wars, Syria was merged with Judaea in 135 CE, creating the larger province of Syria Palaestina. It remained under Roman, and subsequently Byzantine, rule for several centuries, until falling to the Islamic conquests.
