Syria- Palaestina..History

The name Syria Palaestina was introduced by the Roman authorities in the aftermath of the Bar Kokhba revolt (132–136 AD), when the province of Judaea was renamed. Most scholars interpret this renaming as a deliberate attempt by the Roman to suppress Jewish identification with the land and to erase the province's association with the Jewish people.[24] While the Romans frequently renamed provinces for administrative or political reasons, the renaming of Judaea is widely regarded as unique, as the only known case where a province's name was changed explicitly as a punitive response to a rebellion.[25][26]

The precise date and motivations behind the name change remain uncertain, though circumstantial evidence points to Emperor Hadrian's involvement.[27] Coins issued by Hadrian before the revolt still refer to Judaea,[28] while a military diploma from 139 CE already uses the new name.[29] The former name carried a clear ethnic association with the Jewish people, whereas the new designation was devoid of explicit ethnic connotations.[25][29][30] The renaming coincided with broader Roman efforts to suppress Jewish national identity, including the imposition of restrictions on Jewish religious practices, the expulsion of Jews from Jerusalem and its surrounding areas, and the refounding of the city as Aelia Capitolina.[24][27][31]
