Download or read book Sepphoris I written by Eric M. Meyers and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2013-06-15 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sepphoris, “the ornament of all Galilee” according to Josephus, was an important Galilean site during the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods and into early Islamic times. It served as Herod Antipas’s capital of Galilee in the late first century B.C.E. and the early first century C.E., and the Sanhedrin (the supreme Jewish judicial authority) was located there for a time in the third century C.E. Extensive excavations on the western acropolis—probably the location of many of the Jewish occupants of this multicultural city—by the Duke University-Hebrew University project in the mid- to late 1980s and the Duke excavations of the 1990s produced a remarkable assemblage of ceramic wares. This book provides an overview of the history and chronology of the site. It then presents a detailed examination of the pottery. Featuring 55 plates with line-drawings as well as some photos of the various ceramic types, this important publication will be essential for all studies of the archaeology of early Judaism and Christianity in the Holy Land.

Download or read book Sepphoris II written by Eric C. Lapp and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sepphoris was an important Galilean site from Hellenistic to early Islamic times. This multicultural city is described by Flavius Josephus as the “ornament of all Galilee,” and Rabbi Judah the Prince (ha-Nasi) codified the Mishnah there around 200 CE. The Duke University excavations of the 1980s and 1990s uncovered a large corpus of clay oil lamps in the domestic area of the western summit, and this volume presents these vessels. Richly illustrated with photos and drawings, it describes the various shape-types and includes a detailed catalog of 219 lamps. The volume also explores the origins of the Sepphoris lamps and establishes patterns of their trade, transport, and sale in the lower city’s marketplace. A unique contribution is the use of a combined petrographic and direct current plasma-optical emission spectrometric (dcp-oes) analysis of selected lamp fabrics from sites in Israel and Jordan. This process provided valuable information, indicating that lamps found in Sepphoris came from Judea, the Decapolis, and even Greece, suggesting an urban community fully engaged with other regional centers. Lamp decorations also provide information about the cosmopolitan culture of Sepphoris in antiquity. Discus lamps with erotic scenes and mythological characters suggest Greco-Roman influences, and menorahs portrayed on lamps indicate a vibrant Jewish identity.

Book Synopsis The Archaeology of Ancient Judea and Palestine by : Ariel Lewin
Download or read book The Archaeology of Ancient Judea and Palestine written by Ariel Lewin and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The regions that compose the current state of Israel and the emerging state of Palestine have yielded a wealth of fascinating archaeological evidence, from the Dead Sea Scrolls found in a cave in 1947 by a Bedouin searching for a lost sheep, to the remains of Roman camps and King Herod's luxurious palaces at the besieged city of Masada. The authors begin with introductions to the complicated and turbulent history of the region in which a series of invaders, including Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians, and Macedonians conquered and ruled over its people. The long reign of the Romans in the area is given particular attention-a reign that produced the infamous client rulers Herod the Great and Pontius Pilate, as well as two Jewish revolts against their Roman overlords, both of which met with brutal suppression. Lewin also analyzes eighteen ancient city-sites, including the familiar, such as Jerusalem and Bethlehem, and the less well-known, such as Herodion, with its extravagant palace-fortress, and Scythopolis, with its Roman temples and baths. This book provides an enlightening overview of a region that continues to capture the attention of the world.
Book Synopsis A City Set on a Hill: Essays in Honor of James F. Strange by : Daniel a. Warner

This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than four decades, James F. Strange has been one of the leading figures in biblical archaeology, beginning with his collaboration with Eric and Carol Meyers in their excavations in Upper Galilee in the 1970s and early '80s, and continuing especially in his role as the Director of the University of South Florida's excavations at Sepphoris, a position he held for twenty-seven years. During that time, he not only advanced our understanding of civilization in the Galilee within the formative years of Christianity and rabbinic Judaism, but he also trained a new generation of scholars in the rigorous methodologies of archaeological field work--methodologies that he helped pioneer. In this volume, nearly two dozen of his colleagues, former students, and other fellow scholars honor Prof. Strange with a series of essays on biblical archaeology and its related, interdisciplinary fields, often building upon his own considerable scholarly contributions. Collectively, they offer the reader the latest insights and discoveries in field excavations, ancient textual studies, and social scientific analyses, forming a fitting tribute to Prof. Strange's own outstanding life and legacy.
