Iudaea

Annexed outright in 6 CE, then again after the catastrophic Jewish Revolt of 66–73 CE that ended with the Temple's destruction and Jerusalem's razing. By 117 the province is deep in a second, less-remembered crisis — the Kitos War, a wave of diaspora Jewish revolts Trajan's Berber general Lusius Quietus was actively suppressing the very month Trajan died. Legio X Fretensis garrisoned the ruins of Jerusalem itself.

Annexed outright in 6 CE, after Rome deposed the ethnarch Archelaus; reorganized after the catastrophic Jewish Revolt of 66–73 CE.
