Ruins on top of Masada
227 Masada
Ruins on top of Masada. In 72 A.D. the Romans tried to attack Masada and the Jews who had fled there during the
Jewish Revolt. They eventually built a ramp leading up to the top. When they finally broke through
they found the 960 Jews had committed suicide rather that surrender to the Romans.
