History of Judea from the time of Alexander the Great until the Romans
Hellenistic Palestine[1][2][3] is the term for the history of the region of Palestine during the Hellenistic period, when Achaemenid Syria was conquered by Alexander the Great and subsumed into his growing Macedonian empire. Following his death and the division of his empire among the Diadochi, the region came first under Ptolemaic rule beginning in the late 4th century BCE with Ptolemy I Soter, followed by Seleucid rule beginning in the early 2nd century BCE with Antiochus III the Great. Later the same century, the Maccabean revolt weakened the grip of the Seleucid Empire and paved the way for the emergence of the rule of the local Hasmonean dynasty. Following the 63 BCE Siege of Jerusalem by Pompey the Great, the region was annexed by the Roman Republic, marking the end of Hellenistic Palestine and the beginning of Roman Judea.
