Roman rule
The Persian rule of Palestine was replaced by Greek rule when Alexander the Great conquered Macedonia in 333 BC. Alexander’s heirs, the Ptolemies and Seleucids, continued to rule the country. The Seleucids tried to impose their culture and Hellenic (Greek) religion on the population. In the second century BC, the Jews rebelled under the Maccabees and began an independent state (141-63 BC) until Pompey conquered them Rome and made it a province, ruled by Jewish kings.
During the time of King Herod (37-4 BC), Jesus was born (peace be upon him). There were two revolutions of the Jews and Qmata v in 66-73 and in 132-35. After the second, large number of Jews were killed, many were sold as slaves and the rest were not allowed to visit
