Document Details : Title: A Roman Cuirassed Basalt Torso from Khirbet-Beida Author(s): DAR, Shimon , GERSHT, Rivka Journal: ARAM Periodical Volume: 7 Issue: 2 Date: 1995 Pages: 369-378 DOI: 10.2143/ARAM.7.2.2002236 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. |
