This region then came under the rule of Quirinius the governor of Syria and prefects were appointed by the emperor to rule the new province named Iudea (basically a Roman spelling for Judea). Quirinius was governor from 6 AD to 12 AD. Coponius ruled from 6 AD to 9 AD. Pontius Pilate ruled from 26 AD to 36 AD. Herod Antipas ruled as tetrarch of Galilee and Perea from 4 BC until he was dismissed by Caligula in 39 AD. Philip the Tetrarch inherited the northeastern portion of his father's kingdom: Gaulanitus and rebuilt Caesaria Philippi (named after himself). The only other significant territory was the Decapolis which was a group of ten cities that were essentially Roman colonies and self-ruling.
