Judea or Judæa is the ancient biblical, Roman, and modern name of the mountainous southern part of Palestine. The name of the region continued to be incorporated through the Babylonian conquest, Persian, Hellenistic, and Roman periods as Babylonian and Persian Yehud, Hasmonean Judea, and consequently Herodian and Roman Judea, respectively.{{cite book |last= Crotty |first= Robert Brian |title= The Christian Survivor: How Roman Christianity Defeated Its Early Competitors |page= 25 f.n. 4 |publisher= Springer |year= 2017 |quote= The Babylonians translated the Hebrew name [Judah] into Aramaic as Yehud Medinata ('the province of Judah') or simply 'Yehud' and made it a new Babylonian province. This was inherited by the Persians. Under the Greeks, Yehud was translated as Judaea and this was taken over by the Romans. After the Jewish rebellion of 135 CE, the Romans renamed the area Syria Palaestina or simply Palestine. The area described by these land titles differed to some extent in the different periods. |isbn= 9789811032141 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=6X6hDgAAQBAJ&pg=PA25 |access-date=28 September 2020}}
