Riassunto

Bethsaida, probably ancient Tzer the capital of the kingdom of Geshur, was founded in the mid-10th century BC and became an important place and a great regional power in ancient and Biblical times. This is the third volume of essays to be published based on recent excavations at the site. The first of these essays, by Rami Arav, Director of Excavations and Research at Bethsaida, is a narrative history of the region and of Bethsaida itself, its political and religious significance and the socio-economy of the area. Subsequent contributions include a discussion of onomastica in the Bronze and Iron Ages, Bethsaida in the words of Pliny the Elder, and in the Gospel of St Mark, the renaming of Bethsaida according to Josephus, Bethsaida in the light of the study of ancient health care, and Bethsaida's fate as recorded by Eusebius of Caesarea.
