Magdala of Galilee for the first time unifies the results of
various excavations of the Galilean city. Here, archaeologists and
historians of the Second Temple Period work together to understand
the site and its significance to profile Galilee and the region
around the lake in the Early Roman period. After a comprehensive
overview of the history and character of the city, the volume
details the harbor, the domestic and mercantile sectors, the Jewish
ritual baths, and the synagogue, with its unique and remarkable
engraved stone. There is also a full study of Magdala's fishing
industry, which dominated fishing on the lake, and the production
of salted fish. The rabbinic traditions about Magdala are fully
investigated for the first time, and a study of Josephus' account
of the city's role in the Jewish revolt is also included. The
in-depth archaeological, historical, and literary analyses are
enriched by a wealth of on-site photographs, regional maps, and
excavation plans. Edited by Richard Bauckham, this cutting-edge
synthesis of international field work and scholarly study brings
the City of Fish and its place in Jewish history and culture into
sharp relief, providing both specialists and general readers with a
richer understanding of the background of early Judaism and
Christianity.
