	[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b2/Machaerus_Panorama.jpg Machaerus] was a fortress on the eastern side of the [[Dead Sea]], originally built by [[Alexander Jannaeus]] and later rebuilt by [[Herod the Great]].

	~~==History==~~

	~~The site was chosen by [[Alexander Jannaeus]] to protect the Eastern border of the Hasmonean kingdom.~~

	~~The fortress was demolished by the Roman general Gabinius in 57 BCE.~~

	[[Herod the Great]] rebuilt the fortress, which was then inherited by his son [[Herod Antipas]], tetrarch of [[Galilee]] and [[Perea]]. It was in Machaerus that [[John the Baptist]] was imprisoned and put to death.

	~~[[Agrippa I]] took then control of the site. At his death in 44 CE, the fortress came under the direct administration of the Roman governor of Judea.~~

	The Roman garrison abandoned the fortress at the outbreak of the [[Jewish War]] in 66 CE. One of the last strongholds of the rebels with [[Herodium]] and [[Masada]], Machaerus was reconquered only in 72 CE by the Roman Legio X Fretensis under the command of [[Lucilius Bassus]].

	~~==Machaerus in Scholarship==~~

	~~The site was first visited in 1807 by the explorer [[Ulrich Jasper Seetzen]], who noticed the similarity between the Arabic name of the site, ''Muqawir'', and the Greek ''Machaerus''.~~

	~~The first excavation attempt of the fortress was started by [[Jerry Vardaman]] in 1968.~~

	~~In 1973 [[August Strobel]] careful surveyed and mapped the Roman siege works with the vallum, the camps and the towers.~~

	The work was resumed in 1978-81 by the [[Studium Biblicum Franciscanum]] directed by [[Virgilio Corbo]], [[Stanislao Lofreda]] and [[Michele Piccirillo]], and continued in 1992-93 by the Israeli Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.
