From the waning years of the Roman Republic to 217 AD/CE Rome fought war after war to control the important trading routes to the Red Sea The Red Sea led to the lucrative areas as faraway as India for acquiring ivory, myrrh and precious gems. Having Judea under their control enabled Rome not to be concerned that this area would be a threat to the goals mentioned above. Additionally. Judea had a shoreline with the Mediterranean Sea. To control all avenues to the Mediterranean meant that Rome needed to occupy Judea. Judea was a profitable place and thus generated taxes to Rome.

What effect did the occupation of judea have on the poman empire?

Judea was not a very important province of the Roman Empire. Economically it was quite insignificant. Its main asset was the port of Caesarea, which was built by the Romans to ship goods from Nabataea (in present day Jordan) and Arabia. Judea gave the Romans grief in the form of Jewish revolts: the First Jewish-Roman War (66-73 BC), the Kitos War (115-117 BC) and the Bar Kokhba's revolt (132-135 BC). Ultimately, Judea gave the Romans Christianity, which became the religion of the empire in late Antiquity.
