Judea was conquered by the Roman Empire in 63 BCE when General Pompey captured Jerusalem, marking the beginning of Roman influence in the region. This conquest was part of a broader campaign to establish Roman control over the eastern Mediterranean. Judea later became a Roman province, experiencing significant cultural and political changes under Roman rule. The tensions between the Jewish population and Roman authorities eventually led to several revolts, including the Great Jewish Revolt in 66 CE.
