The Inscriptions on the Milestones from the Bet Neṭofa Valley
(pp. 61–64)
Benjamin Isaac
Keywords: Galilee, Roman imperial road system, epigraphy
Three milestones, inscribed in Latin, were found in the excavations in the Bet Neṭofa Valley. Two milestones are attributed the reign of Hadrian, one is dated to the beginning of his reign, in 120 CE, and the other, to his visit to the region in 130 CE. The third milestone dates to the days of Constantine the Great and his sons, between 333 and 337 CE. These milestones are important evidence of the earliest and latest recorded stages of systematic road-planning in Judea-Palestina.
