Ancient history

Were the Romans controlling palastine at tme of Jesus?

Yes, the Romans were controlling Palestine at the time of Jesus. Palestine came under Roman rule in 63 BC when the Roman general Pompey conquered the region and made it a Roman province. Jesus was born during the reign of Caesar Augustus and lived during the reigns of Tiberius and Caligula. During this time, Palestine was divided into several administrative districts, each governed by a Roman procurator. The procurator of Judea, where Jesus lived, was Pontius Pilate.
