Augustus Caesar was the ruler of the Roman Empire at the time of the birth of Jesus. Tiberias was emperor throughout the time of his ministry. Herod the Great was the ruler of Judea, Samaria, Galilee, Perea and Idumea.

After the death of Herod in 4 BC, his kingdom was divided and his heirs became tetrarchs (or ruler of a quarter).

Salome I, (not the Salome who asked for the head of John the Baptist)), was Herod's sister and ruled the cities of Jabneh, Azotas, Phaesalis)

Herod Archelaus ruled Judea, Samaria and Idumea until he was dismissed in 6 CE by Augustus Caesar.

This region then came under the rule of Quirinius the governor of Syria and prefects were appointed by the emperor to rule the new province named Iudea (basically a Roman spelling for Judea). Quirinius was governor from 6 AD to 12 AD.

Coponius ruled from 6 AD to 9 AD.

Pontius Pilate ruled from 26 AD to 36 AD.

Herod Antipas ruled as tetrarch of Galilee and Perea from 4 BC until he was dismissed by Caligula in 39 AD.

Philip the Tetrarch inherited the northeastern portion of his father's kingdom: Gaulanitus and rebuilt Caesaria Philippi (named after himself).

The only other significant territory was the Decapolis which was a group of ten cities that were essentially Roman colonies and self-ruling.

Israel had ceased to exist in 722 BCE, many centuries before the time of Jesus. Where once was Israel was called Samaria in the time of Jesus - the land of the Good Samaritan. The gospels say that Jesus spent most of his life in Galilee, but also in the city of Jerusalem, in Judea. The entire region was ruled by Rome.

Herod Antipas, son of Herod the Great, ruled Galilee from 4 BCE to 39 CE. If Jesus died during the time of Pontius Pilate as governor of Judea, then Antipas was the ruler of Galilee.

Army holy land when jesus was born?

The Romans ruled Israel long before and after Jesus was in Israel. The Israelites still had their own internal rule with their own king but the Romans owned and ruled the country. If you were a Roman in Israel at the time you had to appeal to the Roman rulers or to Rome if you were arrested for any crime. Apostle Paul, while though he was an Israelite, he was still a Roman, he was able to appeal to Rome when he was arrested by the Jews/Roman Army one time. If you need to know more just ask.
