The Roman province of Iudaea, incorporating the historical regions of Judea, Samaria, and Idumaea, was established in 6 CE, when the former tetrarchy of Herod Archelaus came under direct Roman administration. Following the Bar Kokhba War (132-135), Hadrian changed the province's name to Palaestina, and in the mid- to late 4th century CE the area was divided into three provinces (Palaestina Prima, Secunda, and Tertia or Salutaris).

Monte Savello is an area located in Rome's Sant'Angelo district, between the pons Fabricius and the Capitoline Hill. Its status as 'monte' is owed to the fact that an artificial mound of debris accumulated in the area of the Circus Flaminius and the Theater of Marcellus, a mound that came to serve as a de facto quarry for spoliated building materials. "Savello" refers to the post-eleventh century incorporation of the area within the fortifications of the Savello family. Modern excavations have revealed Roman, post-Roman, Medieval, and more recent settlement horizons.

Zāwiyah (also Zawiyeh) is a site in the middle Euphrates region in what was part of the ancient kingdom of Suhu. The city was situated on the north bank of the Euphrates, a few kilometers west of Sur Jureh and Gleieh. Like many towns and cities of the ancient kingdom of Suhu, Zāwiyah is now underwater; the area was flooded after the construction of the Haditha dam. The city's ancient name is not known.
