heavy walls, and aqueducts that

Following the fall of Jerusalem and
the destruction of the Second Temple
(AD 70), the Masada garrison---the last
remnant of Jewish rule in Palestine---

by a Roman Legion under Flavuis

site baffled even the Romans' highly
developed siege craft for a time. It took
the Roman army of almost 15,000
fighting a defending force of less than
1,000, including women and children.
The besiegers built a sloping ramp
of earth and stone to bring the soldiers
within reach of the stronghold, which
fell only after the Romans created a
breach in the defenders' walls. The
Zealots, however, preferred death to
enslavement, and the conquerors
found that the defenders had taken
their own lives. Only two women and
five children--who had hidden in a
water conduit--survived to tell the tale.
Herod the Great was the Herod who
was ruling at the time of Jesus' birth

cities; especially Jerusalem and he
