Image and Reality: The Hasmoneans and Their Fortresses

Roi Sabar

This lecture will take place in person at ISAW. Registration is required; click through for the registration link. In this talk I will use the physical remains of the fortresses to compare the image and the reality of the Hasmoneans as builders. I will use results from my own excavations and studies of two fortresses in the Upper Galilee of northern Israel, which I identify as border posts built by king Alexander Jannaeus (r. 104–76 BCE).
