Judea was the Roman name for the former inland state of Judah, that formed part of the Levant, or Palestine. It was never renamed Philistia, which was formerly the coastal area occupied by the Philistines. By the first century, the Romans had fragmented the Levant into a number of territories under formal or informal Roman control. These included Idumea, Judea, Samaria, Galilee, Phoenicea and the Decapolis. The boundaries varied from time to time purely according to Roman administative convenience, sometimes regardless of historical precedent or which ethnic group occupied the territories concerned. After the Second Jewish War of 132-136 CE, the Romans renamed Judea as Syria Palaestina - not Philistia.
