'''Coponius''' was the first Roman governor of Judea, from 6 CE to 9 CE, under Emperor [[Augustus]].
==Overview==
In 6 CE, Judea became a Roman province after the deposition of [[:Category:Herod Archelaus (subject)|Herod Archelaus]], the son of [[:Category:Herod the Great (subject)|Herod the Great]]. Consequently, Emperor [[Augustus]] appointed a governor of knightly rank, "having the power of life and death" (Josephus, Bel II 8.1; Ant XVIII 1.1). During Coponius' tenure the revolt of [[:Category:Judas the Galilean (subject)|Judas the Galilean]] occurred, apparently in opposition to the census taken by [[Quirinius]], the governor of Syria, who also came to Judea "to take an account of their substance, and to dispose of Archelaus's money." [[Quirinius]] also appointed [[Annas]] the first High Priest nominated directly by the Romans. Josephus records another incident during the Passover festival when some [[:Category:Samaritans (subject)|Samaritans]] scattered human bones along the colonnade of the Jerusalem Temple. Shortly after this event Coponius was recalled to Rome, and replaced by [[:Category:Ambivulus (subject)|Marcus Ambivulus]] (Ant XVIII 2, 2).
