Who was the Governor of Syria at the time Jesus was born?

At the time of Jesus' birth, around 4 to 6 BC, the Governor of Syria was Quirinius. He is known for conducting a census that played a significant role in the nativity narrative found in the Gospel of Luke. Quirinius' governance was marked by administrative reforms and the consolidation of Roman authority in the region. His rule is often associated with the broader context of Roman rule over Judea during this period.
