Beit Shean

We visited the largest excavation in Israel, with the Roman hot baths and Theater. This city was built during the Greek era of the Polis in which security was not an issue. Therefore, it did not have any city walls. However, on the hilltop there were ruins of several cities through the ages, allegedly over 20 layers of ruins. A few of the younger ones ran up the hill to view them.

Jesus may have visited this city on his way from Galilee in the north to the south, Jericho and Jerusalem.
