Mount Machaerus - An Introduction to the Historical, Archaeological, and Pilgrim Site Overlooking the Dead Sea in the Kingdom of Jordan

The Citadel of Mukawer, or Machaerus to the ancient world, is a site redolent with the narrative of history and faith, occupying a strategic point overlooking the Dead Sea in modern Jordan. This volume makes the history of Machaerus, today an abandoned hilltop with its faded, once-magnificent fortified royal palace, more accessible to the public.
