Research Phase

Antiochia Hippos at ASOR

Dr. Mark Schuler November 12, 2017

Many good friends and colleagues will be presenting about Hippos at the annual meeting of ASOR this week in Boston. Our session is on Friday 17 November. Join us!

Antiochia Hippos of the Decapolis and Its Territorium

Theme: Antiochia Hippos (Sussita) of the Decapolis is the last polis to be unearthed in the Land of Israel. The city, founded upon Sussita Mountain, is the center of on-going archaeological research started at 2000. In recent years, the research has expanded to Sussita’s saddle-ridge area and the Territorium of Hippos.
