Roman Fort Site
to the northwest at Masada.One of six Roman forts from the Siege of Masada visible today almost 2000 years later These forts were strongholds of a circumvallation wall held by an entire Roman legion. Due to the enormous quantities of food and water stored in the fortress that made it possible for a thousand men to hold out for at least one year, the Romans decided to build a rampart up one of the mountainsides so that their war machines could be brought to bear on the fortress walls and so take this seemingly impregnable fortress.
Masada (Tv miniseries) with Peter O'Toole, Peter Strauss, and Barbara Carrera brought those ancient events to life for a modern audience.
