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.
