The Lost Location of the Tenth Legion Fretensis Camp in Jerusalem: The Temple Mount – A New Solution to an Old Question?

Wednesday | October 28 | 19:00 | Hebrew
Included in the museum admission fee

The Pax Romana (“Roman Peace”) in Judea was achieved through the extensive use of force by Rome’s imperial legionary army.

Following the suppression of the Great Jewish Revolt, the Romans maintained this “peace” by stationing the Tenth Legion Fretensis in Jerusalem, the capital of the Jewish people.

The lecture will explore how this legion operated to maintain Roman rule in Judea and, in particular, address the long-standing question: Where exactly was the Tenth Legion stationed in Jerusalem?
