-==History==
-Azotus was, like [[Gaza]] and [[Ascalon]], a very ancient and important  settlement of the Philistines. It is often recorded in ancient Jewish sources and was known to [[Herodotus]].
-Nothing is known of the fate of the city in the early Second Temple Period. Judas attacked it and [[Jonathan Maccabeus]] destroyed it. At the time of [[Alexander Jannaeus]] its territory was annexed to the Hasmonean kingdom.
-The city regained its autonomy under Pompey, together with the other coastal cities. [[Gabinius]] rebuilt it.
-Azotus was then annexed to the kingdom of [[Herod the Great]] in 30 BCE, and after his death passed to his sister [[Salome I]].
-During the [[Jewish War]], [[Vespasian]] established a garrison there.
