Roman Governors of Syria were appointed since 65 BCE.

Overview

From 65 BCE to 70 CE, the Roman Governors of Syria had supervision on the political and military affairs in Judea. As a result, some of them, notably, Scaurus, Gabinius, Varus, Quirinius, and Cestius Gallus, played an important role in Second Temple Jewish history, although Judea was never directly annexed to the Roman Province of Syria.
