	Gamla
		The ancient city of Gamla (also known as Gamala) is located in the lower Golan, on a steep ridge that rises to a height of 330 meters above the surrounding terrain.
		Sadly, Gamla is most remembered for the catastrophic defeat it suffered at the hands of the Romans during the Jewish Revolt, since Josephus—who witnessed the campaign as a captive of the Romans—describes the battle for the city in vivid detail.
		Shmaryah Gutman, the director of the ongoing excavations at Gamla, made the present identification of the city on the basis of a correspondence between the excavated remains and Josephus’ description.

	Gamla
		Gamla was a Jewish town on the lower Golan, located on a mountain spur from which the Sea of Galilee can be seen to the west.
		Gamla was conquered by the Romans during the first Jewish revolt in the fall of 67 C.E. Gamla was built on a mountain ridge protected by steep sides on the north, south and east, and by a north-south wall built by Josephus, the Jewish general who commanded the town (Josephus, Life 177-85; War 2.568-74).
		Gamla was never rebuilt, and its remote location made it difficult to transport and reuse the building materials of Gamla at other locations.
