  • A Boundary Stone from Kafr NafaḤ and the Preservation of Ancient Place Names in the Northern and Central Golan Heights

    Danny Syon, Chaim Ben DavidARTICLEAtiqot2024

    A Roman imperial boundary stone, erected under Diocletian in c. 300 CE, was reused as a covering stone of a fourth-century CE grave. It bears the Greek names of the villages Ramathana and Kapharnapha, identified as the late Ottoman villages Ramtaniyye and Kafr Nafaḥ. This is the first instance where ancient names were preserved by the modern ones in the central Golan Heights, overturning previous assumptions in this regard. Archaeological evidenc…

  • Cassius Dio's figures for the demographic consequences of the Bar Kokhba War

    Open AccessDvir Raviv, Chaim Ben DavidARTICLEJournal of Roman Archaeology2021Referencias: 9

    Scholars have long doubted the historical accuracy of Cassius Dio's account of the consequences of the Bar Kokhba War ( Roman History 69.14). According to this text, considered the most reliable literary source for the Second Jewish Revolt, the war encompassed all of Judea: the Romans destroyed 985 villages and 50 fortresses, and killed 580,000 rebels. This article reassesses Cassius Dio's figures by drawing on new evidence from excavations and s…

  • Roman-period synagogues of the Golan

    Open AccessMechael Osband, Chaim Ben David et al.ARTICLEJournal of Roman Archaeology2020Citada por: 2

    Synagogue chronology has been the subject of scholarly debate for decades, especially in the Galilee, where synagogues have been dated both to the Roman and Byzantine (= late-antique) periods. 1 For the Golan, 2 the consensus has been that there is no evidence for them in the Roman period, and especially not in the 2nd-3rd c. The c .30 synagogues there, nearly all in the W central Golan, have always been precluded from the debate since, with the …

  • Six milestone stations and new inscriptions discovered in the Negev along the Petra-Gaza Incense Route

    Chaim Ben David, Benjamin IsaacARTICLEPalestine Exploration Quarterly2020Citada por: 2Referencias: 4

    From 1965 to 1966 a pioneering survey was carried out by Zeev Meshel and Yoram Tsafrir along the incense route between Oboda (Avdat) and the Nabataean caravansary at Sha’ar Ramon. They noted two segments of a wide, built road, along which were 11 milestone stations: 5 on the Nafha Plateau (south of Oboda) and 6 in Makhtesh Ramon. Meshel and Tsafrir dated the road and the milestones to the Nabataean period. These two scholars noted in their survey…

  • Imported Fine Ware in Palaestina Secunda

    Uzi Leibner, Chaim Ben DavidARTICLEBulletin of the American Schools…2014

    Archaeological documentation of imports in a given region can contribute to our knowledge about ancient economy and society. This paper deals with imported fine ware between the fourth and seventh centuries in northern Israel, later known as Palaestina Secunda. Samples of imports from two field surveys covering dozens of rural sites in the region are presented and compared with published assemblages from excavated sites. An analysis of these find…

  • Distribution of Kefar Hananya Type Kitchenware in Roman Period Golan

    Chaim Ben DavidARTICLETel Aviv2014Referencias: 3

    It has been established that the Galilean village of Kefar Hananya was the principal supplier of kitchenware to the Galilee during the Roman period. It has also been established that most of the Roman and early Byzantine cooking vessels of the central and southern Golan, although similar or even indistinguishable from those made at Kefar Hananya, were produced in the Golan. This paper presents the quantitative data, based mainly on surveys, on th…

  • Were there 204 settlements in Galilee at the time of Josephus Flavius

    Chaim Ben DavidARTICLEJournal of Jewish Studies2011Citada por: 3

    Josephus Flavius notes that there are 204 cities and villages in Galilee. Is the number of settlements in Galilee that Josephus cites reliable, or does it belong to the series of figures that most scholars believe is exaggerated? To examine this issue, the article will first define the boundaries of Galilee at the time of Josephus and deal with the secondary question of whether this also included Gaulanitis. Then three different methods will be u…
