Galilee was a backwater. Damascus, to the north, was the centre of Roman power for the entire Syro-Palestine region. Jerusalem, far to the south, was the centre of power for the Jewish priesthood. The only claim to fame for first-century Galilee was that the mission of Jesus is reported to have been centred there.
