==History==
The city of Lod is mentioned several times in ancient sources. According to Ezra 2:33, it was one of the cities whose inhabitants returned after the Babylonian captivity.
Little is known of the fate of the city during the Ptolemaic and Seleucid periods, until [[Jonathan Maccabeus]] and his brother [[Simon Maccabeus]] took control of the city.
In the [[Acts of Apostles]] (9:32-38), it is the site of Peter's healing of a paralytic man.
In 43 CE, Cassius, the Roman governor of Syria, sold the inhabitants of Lod into slavery.
During the [[Jewish War]], the Roman proconsul of Syria, [[Cestius Gallus]], razed the town during his failed attempt to regain control of Judea in 66 CE. Lydda was then occupied by Emperor Vespasian in 68 CE.
During the [[Kitos War]], the Roman army laid siege to Lydda, where the rebel Jews had gathered under the leadership of Julian and Pappus. Lydda was next taken and many of the Jews were executed; the Talmud often refers to the "slain of Lydda."
In 200 CE, the emperor Septimius Severus established a Roman city there, calling it ''Colonia Lucia Septimia Severa Diospolis''. At that point, most of its inhabitants were not Jewish.
The city continued to flourish in Byzantine and Muslim times and is today a modern city in Israel.
