Abstract: From the time of Pompey till the beginning of the Jewish Revolt, the Romans made contradictory arrangements in Palestine. They did not strengthen the security of the region by putting permanent and sufficient military force there. The governors also did not show strong political and administrative leadership to the Jewish ruling class. Only during the periods of Vespasian and the Flavians was systematic rule imposed on the area.
