However, the concept of regions and provinces can be related to various Hebrew terms for lands and territories.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>In the New Testament, Achaia refers to a Roman province in southern Greece, which included the regions of the Peloponnese and central Greece. It was a significant area during the time of the early church, often mentioned in conjunction with Macedonia.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Achaia was a prominent Roman province established in 27 BC, with Corinth as its capital. It was a center of Greek culture and philosophy, and its cities were known for their wealth and commerce. The region played a crucial role in the spread of Christianity, as it was visited by the Apostle Paul during his missionary journeys. The presence of a diverse population, including Jews and Gentiles, provided fertile ground for the early church's growth.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Achaia, a Roman province incl. most of Greece<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Achaia (10).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 882: Ἀχαΐα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Ἀχαΐα</span></span> (<span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">Ἀχαΐα</span> (see Iota)), <span class="greek2">Ἀχαΐας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span>, <span class="accented">Achaia</span>; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> in a restricted sense, the maritime region of northern Peloponnesus. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> in a broader sense, from <DATE_RANGE:146 B.C.> on (yet see Dict. of Geog. under the word), a Roman province embracing all Greece except Thessaly.
