42d- i know there is a post about this already but wondered what everyone else thought ,

i think its ITURAEA, but idumaea also stands out, and i cant find much on either of them.

Pretty sure it's IDUMAEA

WITH both words fitting in its a catch out indeed but in play it mentions pompey lands Anthony and Ituraea also relates to pompey,  Idumaea  refers you to Edom  always one .

In 36bc Cleopatra received part of Ituraea

As far as I can see, Idumaea was also a city (see clue "kingdom and city"), but I dont think Ituraea was a city as well as a region.

Both Ituraea and Idumaea were ancient countries in Palestine.  Ituraea was further north.  I can find no reference to Ituraea as a city, whereas Idumaea is described as both a city and a country (Edom).  However, I am still not sure which is correct
