Initially, they called the area and subsequent provinces after Roman Conquest as Iudaea (Judea). However, as punishment for the numerous Jewish insurrections, culminating in the Bar Kochba Revolt in 135 C.E., the Romans renamed the region as Syria-Palaestina in an attempt to wipe out the Jewish traces in the land.

What event in 800 CE angered the byzantine empire?
On December 25, 800, Charlemagne was crowned Emperor of the Roman People by Pope Leo III in Rome, creating the empire we call the Carolingian Empire today, but Pope Leo and Charlemagne called the Roman Empire at the time. One little problem with this is that when the West Roman Empire fell in the 5th century, the East Roman Empire did not, and continued along, all the while calling itself the Roman Empire; today we call the medieval East Roman Empire the Byzantine Empire. Empress Irene was the empress of what she called the Roman Empire, and suddenly she got news that King Charles of the Franks was calling himself emperor of the Roman Empire. Of course, she was not happy about this.
What time period do you call the roman empire?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Roman Empire is said to have begun when the Senate granted the title Augustus to Octavian on January 4, 27 BC. The date of the fall of the Roman Empire is usually given as 476 AD, though the empire did not really fall on that date. The Roman Empire divided and was reunited several times, the last division being in 395. The event of 476 was the abdication of the last Emperor of the West, in favor of the Emperor of the East. But the West Roman Empire had already become a chaotic mess and never recovered. The emperors of the East Roman Empire tried to reconquer the West, but never got very far. The East Roman Empire finally fell in 1453. Our current historians refer to the East Roman Empire from about 500 AD to 1453 as the Byzantine Empire. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
