Abstract :
The torso was found in 1968 at Khirbet Beida, an abandoned Syrian village on the western slopes of the Golan Heights (R.P. 75005/67300)1. The archaeological finds indicate that the site was continuously occupied from the first to the seventh centuries CE. However, most of the remains – water reservoirs, an arch, agricultural installations (an oilpress and two winepresses), and a burial caves – can be dated to the period between the second and the fourth centuries CE.
