Riassunto

Excerpt from A Visit to Bashan and Argob

Perhaps some of the buildings of the time of Moses still exist - the sixty cities of Argob, the cities of the giants. They may be recognised by what is called the Cyclopean architecture, not built in courses, but the stones unsquared, selected to fit into each other. The greater portion of the existing buildings are of the Greek period, squared and dressed, with many Greek inscriptions, sometimes with the Syrian dates given. To these are to be added the Christian buildings of the time of Imperial Rome. The importance of the region in Greek and Roman times is shown by the number of coins of the various cities, especially of Bosra.
