List of Roman governors in Syria
The following list shows the Roman governors in Syria from the reorganization of the Middle East by Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus to the destruction of the temple in AD 70. During this period fall the terms of office of the high priests of the Hasmonean dynasty , the governments of kings and rulers from the Herodian dynasty and the periods in which parts of Palestine (and especially Judea) were directly administered by Rome. In any case, the governor's influence over the local authorities was considerable. The Roman prefects / procurators of Judea were directly subordinate to the Syrian governor.
In particular, the Legate of Syria was the next authority in complaints against the governor of Judea, as can be seen from the lawsuit brought by the Jews against Pontius Pilate to Lucius Vitellius in AD 36 and the Samaritans brought before the legate Gaius in AD 51 Ummidius Durmius Quadratus against the procurator Ventidius Cumanus .
