Hadrian erased the province's name from the Roman map, renaming it [[Syria Palaestina]]. He renamed Jerusalem [[Aelia Capitolina]] after himself and [[Jupiter Capitolinus]], and had it rebuilt in Greek style. According to Epiphanius, Hadrian appointed [[Aquila of Sinope|Aquila from Sinope]] in Pontus as overseer of the work of building the city, since he was related to him by marriage. Hadrian is said to have placed the city's main [[Roman Forum|Forum]] at the junction of the main [[Cardo]] and [[Decumanus Maximus]], now the location for the (smaller) [[Muristan]]. After the suppression of the Jewish revolt, Hadrian provided the Samaritans with a temple, dedicated to Zeus Hypsistos (Highest Zeus) on [[Mount Gerizim]]. The bloody repression of the revolt ended Jewish political independence from the Roman Imperial order.
