The main export from Syria was cedar wood. Other Mediterranean products, such as olive oil were also exported.
Syria was also part of an important trading network which connected the rest of the Roman Empire (though her shores on the Mediterranean) to Arabia, Persia, India and China. Incense and scented woods from Arabia were exported. Silk from China and other textiles from Persia and India were traded.

In 135 the emperor Hadrian joined Judaea (the Latin for Judah) and Galilee and merged them with the Roman province of Syria. The two areas were renamed Syria Palaestina. Paleastina meant land of the Philistines. He did so because after a rebellion against his anti-Jewish policies, he persecuted the Jews and wanted to root out Judaism. He banned the Torah, executed ten rabbis and had the sacred scrolls burnt. He changed the name of Judah because he wanted erase the memory of Judah, a practice the Romans called damnatio memoriae. The Jews were also banned from entering Jerusalem, which he had renamed Aelia Capitolina. Aelia was the name of Hadrian's clan and Capitolina referred to the fact that he had dedicated the new Jerusalem (which he had rebuilt after it had been destroyed during the First Roman-Jewish War, 66-73) to the Roman god Jupiter Capitolinus.
Hyrcanus and Aristobulus, the two sons of the Jewish King Yannai (Johanan Hyrcanus, 1st century BCE), got the Romans involved in Judea when they asked the Romans to settle a dispute. At first the Romans were cordial; and they actually became party to a military treaty with Judea (Talmud, Avodah Zara 9a). A couple of decades later, however, they unilaterally abrogated the treaty, and placed Roman governors over the land who afflicted the Jews with crushing taxation (Talmud, Yoma 9a). In the first two centuries CE, things got worse, with the Romans destroying the Second Temple and temporarily outlawing Torah-observances, and the Jews attempting to revolt. The Romans destroyed large numbers of Jewish communities in the Holy Land, and they killed some of the leading Jewish sages. (During those times that the Romans didn't interfere with the internal life of the Jews, the reason was because the Romans wanted to receive their taxes. That, and making sure none of their colonies planned rebellions, was usually the only thing that the Romans were really concerned about.)
Syria gained its independence in April 1946 from France. However, before that the region of "Greater Syria" (Bilad al-Sham or the countries of the north) consisted of the region of the current states of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel/Palestine and was an administrative region of the Ottoman Empire, as well as many former empires such as the Abbasids, Umayyads, and even the Romans and Greeks before that.
