If you haven’t been on a tour of Tiberias in the last decade, you have a lot to catch up on with the work of various excavation projects. Shmuel Browns has a well-illustrated summary of some of the important discoveries, including:
- The decorative gate of Herod Antipas
- The main street of the city in use for 700 years
- The Roman theater built by Herod Antipas
- A Roman temple (Hadrianeum)
- A Byzantine monastery and church
His post also includes a number of interesting historical details about the city.
