	Israel: Bet She'an - fantastic ruins
		Today's town of Bet Shean was built in the fertile area, which was populated as far back as in the 5th millenium B.C. The hill on the southern bank of Harod river, known as Tel Bet Shean, contains some twenty archaeological strata.
		But more extensive and well-preserved are the ruins of the Roman-Byzantine city of Bet Shean - Scythopolis; there is a good view of the ruins (more exactly, of the excavated area, which covers approximately one tenth of the ancient city's territory) from the hilltop.
		Among impressive Roman and Byzantine remains of Bet Shean are a large Roman theatre (like that in Caesarea), a Byzantine bathhouse, rooms with Byzantine mosaics, two main colonnaded streets and a Roman temple at their intersection, and even public lavatories.

		Bet Shean was one of the most strategic cities of ancient Canaan.
		But Bet Shean was one of the cities of the Decapolis (along with Jerash); and so it is likely that Jesus came here on his ministry, although the city may not have been as fully developed and built up as it later came to be.
		Bet Shean stands more for the culture and the religions of the world, and as a place of death through wars and persecution.

		Most of the finds, including a stele of Pharaoh Sethos I (1318 B.C.) and a stele depicting the war goddess Anat (1250 B.C.), are now in the Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem.

		The vessels have generally been dated on the basis of the pottery, oil lamps and coins from the context in which they were found, and sometimes on analogy with well-dated finds from other sites.
		Most of the vessel types discovered at Bet Shean are known from other sites, though a few, such as the Umayyad mosaic glass bowl, vessels with inscribed and plain stamps, and two-part vessels, are very rare or totally unknown elsewhere.
		Almost all of the known decorative styles of the Umayyad and Abbasid—Fatimid periods appear at Bet Shean, making it likely that the city had connections with the main centers of glass manufacture in these periods.
