Jerusalem’s Northern Defences Under Hadrian
Most scholars believe that Hadrian’s city of Aelia Capitolina was unwalled, with free-standing gates marking the main entrances on the north, west, east, and south sides: on the north at the site of the modern Damascus Gate; on the east near the modern Lion’s Gate; on the south at the end of the eastern cardo; and on the west near the modern Jaffa Gate. The legionary camp probably occupied all or part of the southwestern hill, while the civilian …
I will lay waste your cities, and you will become a desolation’. Insurgency and counter-insurgency in Judaea
This article examines the two major and prolonged insurgencies that the Roman empire faced in Judaea in the first and second centuries C.E. It seeks to explain the historical contexts for these conflicts and to discuss the strategies pursued by both the imperial power and its insurgent enemies. In each case, once insurrection had broken out, the Roman authorities proceeded in a methodical manner involving the concentration of maximum force to ach…

The Senior Editor of PIA describes its present aims
Under Siege
The Roman reduction of Masada, completed over the winter of either a.d. 72/73 or 73/74, offers scholars the opportunity to study the most complete surviving siege system of the ancient world. Although the remains of the Roman works were the subject of extensive comment from the early to middle 20th century, little modern attention has been devoted to the complex suite of siege-related structures that surround the fortresspalace. A controversial n…

Cremna in Pisidia
The only significant occasion that Cremna emerges from the shadows of historical obscurity is during its siege by Roman forces in the third century AD. Our sole surviving source for this incident is the account related by Zosimus which, despite covering two generous paragraphs of text, remains a collage of anecdotal observations of limited application to the student of siege operations. Notwithstanding the weaknesses of the literary evidence, an …
