Romans.
Briefly: Rome conquered the region in 63 BCE (Pompey). At Jesus’ birth Judea was a Roman client kingdom ruled by Herod the Great; during Jesus’ life Rome exercised direct control through governors/procurators (e.g., Pontius Pilate); and when the church was founded at Pentecost the area was still part of the Roman Empire. The Babylonians and Assyrians ruled centuries earlier; Greek/Hellenistic influence preceded Roman rule but Rome was sovereign in Jesus’ era.
