Masada, Israel. A Story of Survival
Description
Masada is a rugged natural fortress of majestic beauty in the Judean Desert overlooking the Dead Sea. A symbol of the ancient Kingdom of Israel, Masada marks the last stand of Jewish patriots in the face of the Roman army in 73 A.D. It was built as a palace complex in the classic style of the early Roman Empire by Herod the Great, King of Judea (reigned 37 B.C.-4 A.D.). The camps, fortifications and attack ramp that encircle the monument constitute the most complete Roman siege works surviving to the present day.
