Roman Milepost in Israel

Roman Milepost in Israel


‎In A.D. 83, during Domitian’s reign, the Romans erected this milestone on the Acre-Antioch road near Achzib. The Latin inscription honoring Domitian also asserts his father Vespasian’s divinity. First Roman commander during the First Jewish Revolt (A.D. 66–73), Vespasian became emperor during the conflict. Though the Romans under Domitian banished John to Patmos in about A.D. 95, Domitian oppressed all perceived enemies, not only Christians. He insisted that subjects address him as “Dominus et Deus,” “Master and God,” an unpopular policy. He was murdered in A.D. 96.

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
