Legal Ostraca from Herodium

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article marks the first publication of two small fragments of legal documents on sherds found at Herodium with estimated dating to the period of the Great Revolt. Lacking a precise date, we surmise that these original sherds could have been brought to the site by refugees from the revolt, in a similar fashion to the documents found at Muraba' at.
