Roman Syria (Latin: Provincia Syria; Greek: ἐπαρχία Συρίας) was a province of the Roman Republic, and later, the Roman Empire. The Romans gained it in the Third Mithridatic War in 64 BC, and the province got divided by the late 2nd century AD into Coele Syria and Syria Phoenice. The province was mostly in modern-day Syria and Lebanon, but also had territory in Turkey.
