Israel was a colony occupied by the Roman Empire at that time .... a big part
of the reason that so many Romans suddenly show up in the New Testament
around 30 years later.
I assume you mean, 'under the reign of which ruler was Christ born'. This was during the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus. In a nearby state of Syria, Quirinius was the Roman governor there. Herod was King of Judea - the southern kingdom with Jerusalem as capital (jesus completed most of his ministry in Israel - in the district of Galilee, the Northern kingdom) These facts can be found in Luke's Gospel, written by Luke, a Doctor Who was commissioned to investigate the whole story of Jesus from the beginning in a systematic and complete way. The account can be read in any Bible, or at http://www.biblegateway.com. Put in a search for the first 2 chapters of his book (Luke 1 and Luke 2) and you'll find the facts there. Herod the Great was the ruler in Judea when Christ was born and died soon after, in 4BC.
