Did Judea become a Roman province?

Yes, Judea became a Roman province in 6 CE after the Roman Empire imposed direct rule following the deposition of the last Hasmonean king, Archelaus. This transition marked the end of the client kingship in the region, as Judea was incorporated into the larger Roman administrative structure. The province experienced significant turmoil, leading to several Jewish revolts against Roman authority, most notably the Great Jewish Revolt from 66-73 CE.
