This article lists historical events that occurred between 101–200 in modern-day Lebanon or regarding its people.
Roman emperor Hadrian (reigned 117–138) is said to have considered a division of the overly large province of Syria in 123–124 AD, but it was not until shortly after c. 194 AD that Septimius Severus (r. 193–211) actually undertook this, dividing the province into Syria Coele in the north and Phoenice in the south. [1] The province was much larger than the area traditionally called Phoenicia: for example, cities like Emesa [a] and Palmyra [b] and the base of the Legio III Gallica [c] in Raphanaea [d] were now subject to governor in Tyre. Veterans of this military unit were settled in Tyre, which also received the rank of colonia. [2]
After the death of the 2nd century Roman emperor Commodus, a civil war erupted, in which Berytus, and Sidon supported Pescennius Niger. While the city of Tyre supported Septimius Severus, which led Niger to send Mauri [e] javelin men and archers to sack the city. [3] However, Niger lost the civil war, and Septimius Severus decided to show his gratitude for Tyre's support by making it the capital of Phoenice.

193 – 194 | Ti. Manilius Fuscus [4] |
198 | Q. Venidius Rufus Marius Maximus L. Calvinianus |
The first attempt to conserve the Lebanese cedar was made during the 2nd century by the Roman emperor Hadrian; he created an imperial forest and ordered it marked by inscribed boundary stones, two of which are in the museum of the American University of Beirut. [22] Material finds of this early type of wildlife conservation is provided by 200 inscriptions engraved on rocks all over the northern part of Mount Lebanon. [23]
