We have seen that in the year 190 B. C. a new thing happened in Asia / Minor -- Roman legions appeared there for the first time in history. / It was an appearance which was a sign of what was sure to come, that / Rome, when it pleased her to do so, would conquer all that country. / Conquer it all, and subdue it to her own power, in course of time she / did. The last people that she succeeded in perfectly subduing were / the Jews.
Judea, at the date of the arrival in Asia of the legions, was held as / a province of the kingdom of Syria by one of the dynasty of Seleucus.
