But we are going to start in 63 BCE in the kingdom of Judea right there. And of course Judea is occupied by people that are Jewish. And it is this time period that Judea is going to fall under Roman influence at first. It's still going to be an independent kingdom but it's pretty much being led by Romanized Jews like Herod. It's upon Herod's death that there's going to be a rebellion and that's the time period when Jesus of Nazareth is born in Bethlehem. But eventually that rebellion is going to be squashed and the Romans are going to take over Judea. And they're basically going to give a lot of the control over religious matters to Jewish court that's called the Sanhedrin.
