Semasa pemerintahan Rom di Palestin, dan lebih khusus lagi antara tahun 135 M hingga 390 M, Palestin menjadi salah sebuah Provincia empayar tersebut. Ini juga merupakan tempoh yang daripadanya banyak rekod bertulis telah dipelihara dalam pelbagai bahasa – Latin, Yunani, Aramaic, Ibrani – dan turut dimuatkan dalam catatan serta teks agama baharu, iaitu agama Kristian. Pada masa ini, nama 'Palestin' sudah berusia lebih seribu tahun dan telah mempunyai penggunaan yang meluas.

During Roman rule in Palestine, and more specifically between 135 AD and 390 AD, Palestine became one of the Provincias of the empire. This is also a period from which many written records were preserved in a variety of languages – Latin, Greek, Aramaic, Hebrew –and also covered in the annals and texts of the new religion of Christianity. By this time the name ‘Palestine’ was more than a millennium old and had substantial currency.

Pada zaman Rom, nama rasmi/pentadbiran 'Palestin' telah diperkukuh dan dipopularkan dalam bahasa Latin dan Yunani, iaitu dua lingua franca Empayar Rom dan Mediterranean Timur.

During the Roman period the official/administrative name of ‘Palestine’ was consolidated and popularised in Latin and Greek, which were the two lingua francas of the Roman Empire and Eastern Mediterranean.

Kedua-dua bahasa ini memberi kesan kepada perdagangan, pentadbiran, pendidikan, agama, seni bina, diplomasi, syiling dan nama-nama tempat utama di seluruh Mediterranean Timur.

These two languages affected trade, administration, education, religion, architecture, diplomacy, coinage and key place names throughout the Eastern Mediterranean.
