Endnote 15 – Gamla: Portrait of a Rebellion

In the talmudic (Byzantine) period, the site of Gamla was within the area of Christian influence. On the ridge overlooking the site, near the present-day parking lot, a fortified Byzantine monastery exists—Deir Qaruh. Opposite Gamla to the south, on the slope of the Daliyot River, a small Christian Byzantine village was discovered by Shmarya Gutmann.
