-'''Jericho''' was a city in the Jordan valley.
-==History==
-The old Jericho was abandoned after the Babylonian invasion, and settlement moved from the mound to the irrigated oasis. The city developed during the Hasmonean and the Herodian periods, around a complex of royal buildings.
-It was in a swimming pool at Jericho that [[Aristobulus III]] was murdered by order of [[Herod the Great]]. Jericho is also mentioned in the New Testament in relation to some events of the life of [[Jesus of Nazareth]] and as the setting of the parable of the Good Samaritan.
-With the [[Jewish War]] the city declined rapidly and hosted a small Roman garrison and a fort, which played a role in the suppression of the [[Bar-Kokhba]] revolt.
