Prior to the conquest by Romans led by Pompey, it was an indenpendent kingdom and had been since a revolt in the 2nd century BCE. From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_ancient_Israel_and_Judah ---- By the 2nd century BCE, Judah, now the province of Yehud (formerly Yehud Medinata under Persian rule), revolted against Hellenistic Greek overlords and re-created a Judean kingdom, based on the biblical model; this kingdom eventually became part of the Roman Empire as the Iudaea Province before being dissolved due to major rebellions in the 1st century CE and 2nd century CE, after which the name Judah/Judea ceased to be used for any political entity. ---- and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasmonean ---- The Hasmoneans (/hæzmÉË¡niÉn/ Hebrew: ×ש××× ×××â, Hashmonayim, Audio) were the ruling dynasty of the Hasmonean Kingdom of Israel (140â37 BC),[1] an independent Jewish state. ---- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
