Masada
|
|
Herod the Great fortified Masada between 37 and 31 BC as a refuge site for himself in the event of a revolt. In 66 AD, at the beginning of the First Jewish-Roman War against the Roman Empire, a group of Jewish extremists called the Sicarii overcame the Roman garrison of Masada, shortly after the destruction of the Second Temple.
|
|
The rampart was complete in the spring of 73 AD, after probably two to three months of siege, allowing the Romans to finally breach the wall of the fortress with a battering ram on April 16. When they entered the fortress, however, the Romans discovered that its 960 inhabitants had set all the buildings ablaze and committed mass suicide rather than face certain capture, defeat, slavery or execution by their enemies. Masada is considered as a symbol of choosing freedom over slavery. |
