This article appears in Volume V15, Page 535 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JEE-JUN
JUDAEA , the name given to the southern
part
  of Palestine as occupied by the Jewish community in
post
 -exilic days under Persian,
Greek
  and Roman overlordship. In
Luke
  and Acts the
term
  is sometimes used loosely to denote the whole of western Palestine. The limits of Judaea were never very precisely defined andespecially on the northern frontiervaried from time to time. After the death of
Herod
 ,
Archelaus
  became ethnarch of Samaria, Idumea and Judaea, and when he was deposed Judaea was merged in Syria, being governed by a pro-curator whose headquarters were in Caesarea.
For a description of the natural features of the country see PALESTINE; for its
history
  see
JEWS
  and JUDAH. Cf. T. Mommsen, The Provinces of the Roman
Empire
 , ch. xi.
