Correct me if I am wrong, but wasnt Gamala the city in which josephus hid in a well and tricked the others into suicide? or was that Jotapata?
would be hilarious if not brilliant if they found that specific well!!!!
about the siege of Masada, I always get the impression that there were a lot more "forests" and trees around in first century Judaea, compared to the barren land you see today.... also there is a theory the woods round jerusalem were all cut down in various sieges throughout the ages, as well as building material...
is there any proof of Judaea haven been more lavishly vegetated during those days??

(PS cant wait to see volume VIII!!)
