Abstract:

This gazetteer, the result of an enormous amount of original research, is more than a mere list of over 900 sites in Roman Palestine. Each entry contains a proposed reconstruction of the ancient Hebrew (or Greek) name as well as its ancient and modern equivalents. Map references indicate the location of the sites on the eight detailed maps. In addition, ancient Greek, Latin, and Semitic sources mentioning each locality, modern literature on each site, and relevant historical, archaeological, and geographical information are provided.
