The Romans ruled Israel long before and after Jesus was in Israel. The Israelites still had their own internal rule with their own king but the Romans owned and ruled the country. If you were a Roman in Israel at the time you had to appeal to the Roman rulers or to Rome if you were arrested for any crime. Apostle Paul, while though he was an Israelite, he was still a Roman, he was able to appeal to Rome when he was arrested by the Jews/Roman Army one time.

The Dead Sea is NOT called the Holy Land, the Dead Sea is IN the Holy Land. The Holy Land comprises the territories of ancient Judea where Christ was born, grew up and preached his gospel.
I am not sure what you are referring to, but there are some Christians who believe that when Jesus returns for his Second Coming, he will manifest himself in the Holy Land (Israel).
